THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: ISSUE A GENERAL NOTICE (GENOT) IMMEDIATELY TO ALL UNITED STATES OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF THE CASA C-212 AIR PLANE DESCRIBING THE BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS OF THE RECENT FLIGHT TEST OF THE CASA C-212. THE NOTICE SHOULD PROVIDE AN EVALUATION OF THE EXISTING CASA C-212 STALL CHARACTERISTICS, OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS, AND TRAINING PROCEDURES TO PRECLUDE INADVERTENT STALLS UNTIL AN APPROVED ARTIFICAL STALL WARNING SYSTEM IS INSTALLED. (URGENT)
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The NTSB asks the FAA to immediately issue a General Notice (GENOT) to all U.S. owners and operators of the CASA C-212 airplane, detailing the background and significant findings from a recent flight test. The notice should include an evaluation of the aircraft's stall characteristics, along with operational precautions and training procedures to prevent inadvertent stalls, until an approved artificial stall warning system is installed.
This plain-language summary is written by FlightFinder to explain the recommendation above. It is not the official wording — the verbatim NTSB text is quoted above.
