The NTSB has followed up on its
concerns over the 2004 crash of a Bombardier CL-600-2A12 with a
series of recommendations owed to the "...particular concern to the
Safety Board is that a qualified 14 CFR Part 135 captain and first
officer, both of whom received winter weather operations training
in accordance with the company's Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA)-approved winter operations procedures, could fail to
understand the insidious nature of upper wing surface contamination
and its threat to the safety of the flight. Further, proper CRM
could have helped the crew identify the risks associated with
winter weather operations."
Safety Recommendation A-06-42
The National Transportation Safety Board recommends that the
Federal Aviation Administration:
Develop visual and tactile training aids to accurately depict
small amounts of upper wing surface contamination and require all
commercial airplane operators to incorporate these training aids
into their initial and recurrent training. (A-06-42)
In addition, the National Transportation Safety Board reiterates
the following recommendation to the Federal Aviation
Administration:
Require that 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 135
on-demand charter operators that conduct dual-pilot operations
establish and implement a Federal Aviation Administration-approved
crew resource management training program for their flight crews in
accordance with 14 CFR Part 121, subparts N and O. (A-03-52)
