The full report of the Hanscom G-IV crash is now available.
Safety issues discussed include:
- Use of the challenge-verfication-response format for checklist execution
- Analysis of flight operational quality assurance data to define the scope of procedural noncompliance in business aviation
- Replacement of nonfrangible fittings with frangible fittings for any objects along the extended runway centerline up to the perimeter fence
- Retrofit of the gust lock system on all existing G-IV airplanes to comply with the certification requirement that the gust lock limit the operation of the airplane so that the pilot receives an unmistakable warning if the lock is engaged at the start of takeoff
- Guidance on the appropriate use and limitations of the review of engineering drawings in a design review performed as a means of showing compliance with certification regulations
Other recommendations include amendment to the IS-BAO auditing standards to assure compliance regarding the use of checklists.
