Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: ESTABLISH AND OVERSEE A WORKING GROUP, CONSISTING OF AT LEAST THE AIRPORT OPERATORS COUNCIL INTERNATIONAL, THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF AIRPORT EXECUTIVES, AIR CARRIER ASSOCIATIONS, THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION, AND THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION, TO CONDUCT AN IN-DEPTH SURVEY OF 14 CFR PART 139 CERTIFICATED AIRPORTS TO DETERMINE THE ADEQUACY AND TIMELY DISSEMINATION OF AIRCRAFT "CRASH CREW" TYPE PUBLICATIONS USED BY AIRCRAFT RESCUE AND FIRE FIGHTING PERSONNEL, AND AFTER REVIEWING THE SURVEY INFORMATION, TAKE ACTION AS NEEDED TO IMPROVE THE CONTENT OF SUCH PUBLICATIONS AND THE METHODS FOR DISSEMINATING THEM.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to establish and oversee a working group that includes airport operators, air carriers, and fire protection associations to survey Part 139-certificated airports on the adequacy and timely dissemination of aircraft "crash crew" publications used by rescue and fire fighting personnel, and then to improve the content and distribution methods as needed.
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.
