NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: With the NASA and other interested aviation organizations, conduct additional research to identify realistic ice accumulations, to include intercycle and residual ice accumulations and ice accumulations on unprotected surfaces aft of the deicing boots, and to determine the effects and criticality of such ice accumulations; further, the information developed through such research should be incorporated into aircraft certification requirements and pilot training programs at all levels.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to work with NASA and other aviation organizations to research realistic ice accumulations on aircraft, including intercycle and residual ice, and ice on unprotected surfaces behind deicing boots, and to assess the effects and criticality of such ice. The findings should then be used to update aircraft certification requirements and pilot training programs at all levels.
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.
