Recommendation text

TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Require all 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121 air carriers to provide flightcrews with instruction on mistrim cues that might be available during taxi and initial rotation, and require air carriers using full flight simulators in their training programs to provide flightcrews with special purpose operational training that includes an unanticipated pitch mistrim condition encountered on takeoff.

In plain language (FlightFinder summary)

The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to mandate that all Part 121 air carriers train flight crews on recognizing mistrim cues during taxi and initial rotation, and that carriers using full flight simulators include unanticipated pitch mistrim scenarios in their training.

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.
