Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FAA: ESTABLISH, FOR FUTURE CERTIFICATION OF HIGHLY RESPONSIVE HELICOPTERS, OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, STUDENT PILOT TRAINING REQUIREMENTS, & INSTRUCTOR PILOT REQUIREMENTS, SUCH AS THOSE IMPOSED FOR THE R22 & R44, NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT PILOTS OF ALL LEVELS OF QUALIFICATION & SKILL CAN ADEQUATELY OPERATE THE HELICOPTER. (Supersedes Safety Recommendations A-94-144 and A-95-003)
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to create operational, student pilot training, and instructor pilot requirements for future highly responsive helicopters, similar to those already in place for the R22 and R44, to ensure that pilots of all qualification and skill levels can adequately operate the aircraft.
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.
