NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Expedite the research, development, and implementation of revision to the icing certification testing regulations to ensure that airplanes are adequately tested for the conditions in which they are certificated to operate; the research should include identification (and incorporation into icing certification requirements) of realistic ice shapes and their effects and criticality.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is urged to speed up research, development, and implementation of updated icing certification testing rules. This would ensure aircraft are properly tested for the conditions they are approved to fly in, including identifying realistic ice shapes and understanding their effects and criticality.
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.
