NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Establish a joint industry/government task force, such as an Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC), comprising representatives from the FAA, air carriers, aircraft manufacturers, and the academic community to review the qualification standards and training curriculum for air carrier inspectors. The intent of the task force should be revisions to the qualifying and training standards for air carrier inspectors that will (a) increase their familiarity with air carrier operations and maintenance in general, as well as the specific operations of the air carriers they inspect; and (b) enhance their knowledge of the Federal Aviation Regulations and provide for more standardized interpretation enforcement of the regulations.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to create a joint task force with industry and academia, such as an Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee, to review and revise the qualification and training standards for air carrier inspectors. The revisions should increase inspectors' familiarity with air carrier operations and maintenance, both generally and for the specific carriers they inspect, and enhance their knowledge of Federal Aviation Regulations for more standardized enforcement.
