NTSB Safety Recommendation A-11-48 through -51
The National Transportation Safety Board makes the following
recommendations to the Federal Aviation Administration:
Consult with appropriate specialists and revise the current
internal Federal Aviation Administration guidance on issuance of
medical certification subsequent to ischemic stroke or
intracerebral hemorrhage to ensure that it is clear and that it
includes specific requirements for a neuropsychological evaluation
and the appropriate assessment of the risk of recurrence or other
adverse consequences subsequent to such events. (A-11-48)
Correct the deficiencies with the in-service automated weather
sensor system (AWSS) stations, specifically the known problems with
present weather sensors and ceilometers, to ensure that the AWSS
stations provide accurate information as soon as practical.
(A-11-49)
Implement a collaborative test program in Alaska between the
Federal Aviation Administration, the National Weather Service
(NWS), the local academic community, and private entities to
establish the viability of relaying weather information collected
from airborne aircraft equipped with existing data-link technology,
such as universal access transceivers, to the NWS Alaska Aviation
Weather Unit in real-time. (A-11-50)
If the Federal Aviation Administration's test program
recommended in Safety Recommendation A-11-50 establishes that the
use of existing data-link technology, such as universal access
transceivers, is a viable means of relaying collected information
in real-time from an airborne platform, encourage and provide
incentives to data link- equipped aircraft operators in Alaska to
outfit their aircraft with weather-sensing equipment for real-time
data relay. (A-11-51)
