THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FAA: CONDUCT, IN COOPERATION WITH THE DOD, A FORMAL REVIEW OF SPECIAL USE AIRSPACE (SUA) (WARNING AREA) PROCEDURES TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE CURRENT, SAFE, UNDERSTOOD, & ADHERED TO BY ALL THOSE INVOLVED. PERSONNEL INVOLVED IN THIS REVIEW SHOULD INCLUDE AIR FORCE, NAVY, FAA REPRESENTATIVES; PILOT, CONTROLLERS, & OTHER PERSONS DEEMED APPROPRIATE. INFO GENERATED BY THE REVIEW SHOULD BE DISSEMINATED TO EVERY FACILITY INVOLVED IN THE SCHEDULING, CONTROL, &/OR USE OF SUA (WARNING AREAS.)
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA, in cooperation with the Department of Defense, is asked to conduct a formal review of Special Use Airspace (warning area) procedures to verify they are up-to-date, safe, clearly understood, and followed by all parties. The review should involve representatives from the Air Force, Navy, FAA, as well as pilots, controllers, and other appropriate individuals. Information from the review must be shared with every facility that schedules, controls, or uses these warning areas.
