A-95-112

NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation

Recommendation text

TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Require airplane manufacturers to revise one-engine inoperative takeoff procedures to provide adequate rudder availability for correcting directional deviations during the takeoff roll and provide performance figures and runway requirements compatible with the achievement of maximum asymmetric thrust at an appropriate speed greater than ground minimum control speed. (Supersedes Safety Recommendation A-94-105 and A-94-106)

In plain language (FlightFinder summary)

The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to require airplane manufacturers to update one-engine inoperative takeoff procedures to ensure sufficient rudder control for directional corrections during takeoff, and to supply performance figures and runway requirements that allow achieving maximum asymmetric thrust at a speed above ground minimum control speed. This replaces earlier recommendations A-94-105 and A-94-106.

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.
