NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Amend FAA Order 8400.10, volume 3, chapter 7. Section 2, parts 121/135, "Weather Information Systems," paragraph 1425, to specify that principal operations inspectors ensure that operators under 14 CFR Part 135, who elect to use a weather information system, make available to flightcrews, as well as to dispatch and/or flight control personnel, weather products listed under section 2 that are appropriate to their flight operations. Principal operations inspectors should ensure that initial and recurrent flightcrew training include the use of computerized weather systems, if such systems are a source of flightcrew weather information. (superseded by A-94-71)
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The NTSB asked the FAA to require inspectors to verify that certain charter operators provide appropriate weather data to both pilots and ground staff when they choose to use electronic weather systems. The recommendation also urged the agency to ensure that pilot training covers how to use these computerized tools during initial and ongoing instruction. This guidance was later replaced by a newer safety recommendation.
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.
