A-96-109
NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Require the Boeing Commercial Airplane Group to develop and install a cockpit indicator system for all new production B-737 airplanes that indicates rudder surface position and movement. For existing B-737 airplanes, when implementing the installation of an enhanced-parameter flight data recorder, require the installation of a cockpit indicator system that indicates rudder surface position and movement. (Superseded by A-99-20 through A-99-29)
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to require Boeing Commercial Airplane Group to develop and install a cockpit indicator system on all new production B-737 airplanes that shows rudder surface position and movement. For existing B-737 airplanes, the FAA must require that when an enhanced-parameter flight data recorder is installed, a cockpit indicator system showing rudder surface position and movement is also installed.
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.
