The NTSB's safety recommendations are intended for which recipients?

• A. The FAA and industry.
• B. Airlines only.
• C. International regulators only.
• D. The U.S. Congress.

Answer: (A)

Safety recommendations from the NTSB are directed at those who can actually implement changes to improve aviation safety. The primary recipients are the Federal Aviation Administration (the U.S. regulator with rulemaking and oversight authority) and the aviation industry (airlines, manufacturers, maintenance providers, airports, etc.), who can adopt new procedures, training, equipment, and policies. While the NTSB may share findings with international regulators or note implications for legislation, the actions that put safety improvements into practice come from the FAA and the industry.
