NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FAA: ESTABLISH, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT ASSOCIATION AND THE AVIATION INSURANCE ASSOCIATION, A COOPERATIVE PROGRAM THAT STRONGLY ENCOURAGES PILOTS TRANSITIONING TO UNUSUAL OR UNFAMILIAR AMATEUR-BUILT, EXPERIMENTAL CATEGORY AIRPLANES TO UNDERGO FORMALIZED, TYPE-SPECIFIC TRANSITION TRAINING SIMILAR TO THAT PROVIDED TO PILOTS OF SOME ADVANCED, EXPERIMENTAL, AMATEUR-BUILT AIRPLANES.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to partner with the Experimental Aircraft Association and the Aviation Insurance Association to create a cooperative program that strongly encourages pilots transitioning to unfamiliar amateur-built, experimental category airplanes to undergo formalized, type-specific transition training, similar to training already provided for some advanced experimental amateur-built airplanes.
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.
