NTSB Safety Recommendation A-06-66-69
The National
Transportation Safety Board recommends that the Federal Aviation
Administration:
Disseminate to all principal inspectors of 14 Code of Federal
Regulations Part 135 certificate holders and to all Part 135
certificate holders guidance that includes specific procedures,
such as those contained in the draft revisions to Operations
Specifications A-008, that detail appropriate methods by which a
certificate holder can demonstrate to the Federal Aviation
Administration that it is maintaining adequate operational control
over all on-demand charter flights conducted under the authority of
its certificate. This guidance should address operations based at
locations geographically distant from the certificate holder's
base, should be included in all Part 135 certificate holders?
operations specifications, and should be required as periodic
inspection items for principal inspectors. (A-06-66)
Review all charter management, lease, and other agreements
between 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 135 certificate holders
and other entities to identify those agreements that permit and/or
enable a loss of operational control by the certificate holder and
require revisions of any such arrangements. (A-06-67)
Require all 14 Code of
Federal Regulations Part 135 certificate holders to ensure that
seatbelts at all seat positions are visible and accessible to
passengers before each flight. (A-06-68)
Require that any cabin personnel on board 14 Code of Federal
Regulations Part 135 flights who could be perceived by passengers
as equivalent to a qualified flight attendant receive basic
FAA-approved safety training in at least the following areas:
preflight briefing and safety checks; emergency exit operation; and
emergency equipment usage. This training should be documented and
recorded by the Part 135 certificate holder. (A-06-69)
