NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: CONDUCT A STAFFING STUDY TO DETERMINE IF AVIATION ORIENTED PERSONS FROM THE LOCAL AREA, SUCH AS RETIRED PILOTS AND MILITARY PERSONNEL, COULD BE HIRED AT THE COAST TERMINAL RADAR APPROACH CONTROL TO PERFORM THE DUTIES OF AIR TRAFFIC ASSISTANTS SO THAT DEVELOPMENTAL CONTROLLERS PRESENTLY PERFORMING THOSE TASKS CAN COMPLETE THEIR TRAINING AND WORK CONTROL POSITIONS.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to conduct a staffing study to decide if hiring local aviation-oriented people, such as retired pilots and military personnel, as air traffic assistants at the Coast Terminal Radar Approach Control would allow developmental controllers currently doing those tasks to complete their training and work control positions.
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.
