…With More Training And Maybe New Alert Systems
Specifically, the NTSB recommended that the FAA should require en route inspections and observe ground training, flight training, and proficiency checks at all Part 135 on-demand charter operations, just as they do at Part 121 and Part 135 commuter operations. Also, the FAA should require that Part 135 on-demand charter operators that conduct dual-pilot operations establish and implement an FAA-approved crew resource management training program. The FAA also should convene a panel of specialists in aircraft design, aviation operations, and aviation human factors, including representatives from NASA, to determine if it would be feasible to require low-airspeed alert systems in airplanes engaged in commercial operations under Parts 121 and 135.

If the panel finds it would be feasible, the FAA should establish requirements for low-airspeed alert systems, based on those findings.
