NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Until such time as common standards are developed for flight management system (FMS)-generated displays and instrument approach charts, require the Jeppesen Sanderson Company to inform airlines operating FMS-equipped aircraft of each difference in the naming and/or portrayal of navigation info on FMS-generated and approach chart info, and require airlines to inform their pilots of these differences.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to direct the Jeppesen Sanderson Company to notify airlines operating FMS-equipped aircraft about any differences in how navigation information is named or depicted between FMS-generated displays and instrument approach charts. Airlines would then be required to pass this information on to their pilots.
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.
