NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: REQUIRE MODIFICATIONS TO PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION'S AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL AND PILOT'S OPERATING HANDBOOK FOR THE PA-46 SERIES AIRPLANE TO ADD WARNINGS IN THE NORMAL PROCEDURES CHECKLIST FOR CLIMB, CRUISE, AND DESCENT FLIGHT THAT PERTINENT ICE PROTECTION EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE TURNED ON IF INSTRUMENT METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS ARE ENCOUNTERED NEAR AND ABOVE THE FREEZING LEVEL.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to require Piper Aircraft Corporation to modify the Airplane Flight Manual and Pilot's Operating Handbook for the PA-46 series. The changes would add warnings in the normal procedures checklist for climb, cruise, and descent that ice protection equipment should be turned on if instrument meteorological conditions are encountered near and above the freezing level.
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.
