Aviation Accident Report: American Airlines Flight 383/Recommendations
3. RECOMMENDATIONS
The Board is aware of industry studies now under consideration pertaining to altitude reference instrumentation and cockpit instrument display. Included in these programs is the development of aural and visual low altitude warning features that can be incorporated into the aircraft altimetry system. Although no deficiencies have been found in the instrumentation presently employed in commercial transport operation; the Board believes that continued developments and improvements along these lines will certainly add to a greater margin of aviation safety.
It is also recognized that high performance aircraft operations are becoming increasingly complex especially in the critical flight regimes such as takeoff, approach, and landing. The Board therefore encourages acceleration of the program designed to improve data presentation.
