NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION: With the FAA 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)
NASA, in coordination with the FAA and other relevant aviation organizations, is asked to conduct further research on realistic ice accumulation scenarios, specifically intercycle and residual ice, as well as ice on unprotected surfaces behind deicing boots. The goal is to determine the effects and criticality of such ice, and to integrate the findings into aircraft certification standards and pilot training 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.
