NTSB SAFETY RECOMMENDATION
************************************************************
National Transportation Safety Board
Washington, DC 20594
March 08, 2005
************************************************************
Safety Recommendations A-05-03 through -07
************************************************************
The National Transportation Safety Board recommends that the
Aviation Administration:
Require Honeywell to modify its flight management system
(FMS) software to annunciate warnings to the flight crew
when a takeoff reference speed is changed by a value that
would impede the airplane's ability to safely take off, and
require all operators of airplanes with Honeywell FMS
computers to incorporate this software modification. (A-05-
03)
Require Honeywell to modify its flight management system
(FMS) software to prevent entry of airplane weights that
would result in landing weights below zero fuel weight or
operating empty weight, and require all operators of
airplanes with Honeywell FMS computers to incorporate this
software modification. (A-05-04)
Require Honeywell to modify its flight management system
(FMS) software either to inhibit manual entries in the gross
weight field or to allow the takeoff gross weight to be
uplinked directly into the FMS, and require operators of
airplanes with Honeywell FMSs to incorporate this software
modification. (A-05-05)
Require Honeywell to conduct a study of its flight
management system computers to identify any additional
improvements that may be necessary for error checking and
confirming that the entered takeoff and landing performance
information is correct and reasonable. (A-05-06)
Require companies other than Honeywell that manufacture
flight management systems (FMS) that are installed on 14
Code of Federal Regulations Part 25 airplanes to study their
FMS computers to identify any improvements that may be
necessary for error checking and confirming that the entered
takeoff and landing performance information is correct and
reasonable. (A-05-07)
