NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: INCORPORATE INTO THE TRAINING SYLLABUS AT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION'S ACADEMY AT OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, MATERIALS WHICH STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF AND THE NEED FOR GIVING TRAFFIC INFORMATION WHEN ISSUING AN ANTICIPATED SEPARATION LANDING CLEARANCE. STRESS THAT THIS INFORMATION WILL ENHANCE PILOT AWARENESS AND VISUAL ACQUISITION OF PRECEDING TRAFFIC, THEREBY PROVIDING A REDUNDANCY IN SEPARATION ASSURANCE FOR CONTROLLERS AND PILOTS.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The NTSB asks the FAA to add training materials at its Oklahoma City academy emphasizing the importance of providing traffic information when issuing an anticipated separation landing clearance. These materials should stress that this information enhances pilot awareness and visual acquisition of preceding traffic, thereby creating redundancy in separation assurance for controllers and pilots.
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.
