NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Require, 12/31/97, operators that conduct scheduled and nonscheduled services under 14 CFR Part 135 in Alaska to provide flightcrews, during initial and recurrent training programs, aeronautical decision making and judgment training that is tailored to the company's flight operations and Alaska's aviation environment, and provide similar training for FAA Principal Operations Inspectors who are assigned to commuter airlines and air taxi in Alaska, so as to facilitate the inspectors' approval and surveillance of the operators' training programs.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to ensure that airlines operating in Alaska provide their pilots with decision-making training specifically designed for the unique challenges of that region. This requirement applies to both new hires and ongoing refresher courses. The agency should also train its own inspectors who oversee these carriers so they can better evaluate whether the airlines are meeting these safety standards.
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.
