Recommendations
Recommendations (the sheriff's words)Safety Recommendation 2006-101: The European Aviation Safety Agency and Joint Aviation Authorities should review the UK Civil Aviation Authority’s proposal to mandate the fitment of upper torso restraints on all seats of existing Transport Category (Passenger) aeroplanes below 5700kg being operated for public transport and consider creating regulation to implement the intent of the proposal.
Safety Recommendation 2006-102: Considering the unique circumstances of air ambulance flights the Civil Aviation Authority in conjunction with the Joint Aviation Authorities should review the circumstances in which a second pilot is required for public transport flights operating air ambulance services.
Safety Recommendation 2006-103: The Civil Aviation Authority in conjunction with the Joint Aviation Authorities should consider mandating the carriage of a radio altimeter or other independent low height warning device for public transport IFR flights operating with a single pilot.
I accordingly recommend that consideration be given by the Civil Aviation Authority to the desirability of requiring installation of secondary surveillance radars at smaller airfields in the UK such as Campbeltown Airport.
