NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation

Recommendation text

THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: INCLUDE IN THE AIRMAN'S INFORMATION MANUAL ADVISORIES ON THE POTENTIAL DANGERS THAT CAN BE ENCOUNTERED WHEN FLYING AIRCRAFT IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO ONE ANOTHER. THIS INFORMATION SHOULD INCLUDE CONSIDERATION OF THE POTENTIAL RISKS INVOLVED IN THE MANEUVER, THE IMPORTANCE OF THOROUGH PLANNING AND COMMUNICATION AMONG ALL THE PILOTS AND THE AERODYNAMIC INTERACTIONS THAT CAN BE ENCOUNTERED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY FLIGHT.

In plain language (FlightFinder summary)

The NTSB asks the FAA to add advisories to the Airman's Information Manual about the hazards of flying aircraft close together, covering the risks of the maneuver, the need for careful planning and communication among pilots, and aerodynamic interactions.

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.
