NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Intensify research in the nondestructive inspection field to identify emerging technologies that can serve to simplify automate, or otherwise improve the reliability of the inspection process. Such research should encourage the development and implementation of redundant ("second set of eyes") inspection oversight for critical part inspections, such as for engine rotating components.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to intensify research in nondestructive inspection to find emerging technologies that can simplify, automate, or otherwise improve the reliability of the inspection process. The research should also encourage the development and implementation of redundant inspection oversight for critical parts, such as engine rotating components.
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.
