NTSB Meets To Consider Safety Study On The Use Of Airbags In GA Aircraft

Meeting To Be Held January 11th in Washington, DC

The National Transportation Safety Board will hold a public Board meeting to consider a safety study on the effectiveness of airbags in GA aircraft. The NTSB initiated the safety study to examine the effectiveness of airbags in mitigating occupant injury in a survivable GA accident, identify any unintended consequences of airbag deployments, and develop procedures to assist investigators in documenting airbag systems in future investigations.

During the course of the study, investigators became aware of several potential issues that could compromise occupant safety associated with the use, adjustment and design of restraint systems. All of these findings will be presented to the five-Member Board for their consideration.

The meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 11, at 0930 EST in the NSTB's Board Room and Conference Center in Washington, DC. A summary of the safety study, which will include its findings and safety recommendations, will appear on the  website shortly after the conclusion of the meeting. The entire study will appear on the website several weeks later.
