NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: POSTPONE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TERMINAL AIRSPACE REALIGNMENT (STAR) PROJECT AND THE TRANSFER OF CONTROL SECTORS 21 AND 22 FROM LOS ANGELES AIR ROUTE TRAFFIC CONTROL CENTER TO THE COAST TERMINAL RADAR APPROACH CONTROL (TRACON) UNTIL THE COAST TRACON STAFFING LEVEL OF FULL PERFORMANCE LEVEL AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS HAS INCREASED TO 75 PERCENT OF THE NUMBER AUTHORIZED, AND UNTIL THE FACILITY HAS BEEN EXPANDED OR RELOCATED TO ACCOMMODATE THE INCREASED NUMBER OF RADAR POSITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE STAR PROJECT.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to delay the Southern California Terminal Airspace Realignment (STAR) project and the transfer of control sectors 21 and 22 to the Coast TRACON until the facility's staffing of full performance level air traffic controllers reaches 75% of the authorized number, and until the facility is expanded or relocated to accommodate the additional radar positions required by the STAR project.
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.
