NTSB - Recommendations

The Office of Safety Recommendations and Advocacy is responsible for designing and coordinating strategies to implement safety recommendations. Safety Recommendations are issued by the NTSB following the investigation of transportation accidents and other safety problems. Recommendations usually address a specific issue uncovered during an investigation or study and specify how to correct the situation. Letters containing the recommendations are sent to the organization best able to act on the problem, whether it is public or private.
