accepts this recommendation and will revise the educational material on wake turbulence to include guidance for operations at uncontrolled aerodromes, and to emphasise that pilots should observe the ICAO recommended minimum separation distance between light aircraft and notify any severe wake turbulence incidents to the CAA.

acts, in concert with the FAA as the type certification authority, to amend the Aircraft Flight Manuals of the Metro and associated types to include a limitation and caution that the autopilot and yaw damper must be disconnected while in-flight fuel balancing is done.

The Director has accepted this recommendation and has commenced correspondence with the FAA to request that they amend the flight manuals of the Metro and associated types to include a limitation and caution that the autopilot and yaw damper must be disconnected while in flight fuel balancing is done. In addition the aircraft flight manual should contain a procedure for in flight fuel balancing. This action was commenced in May however no final date for resolution of this matter can be agreed as this is dependent on the FAA internal processes.”
Safety Recommendation
095/05
Issued To
CAA
on 04 Jan 06
define criteria for clinical parameters, such as peak aortic velocity, that would limit the risk of sudden incapacitation in pilots with mild heart valve disease to within acceptable limits, and establish appropriate medical surveillance criteria.
Implementation Status:

I will not accept this recommendation as worded; however I will review CAA handling of pilots with valvular heart disease at a joint clinical workshop that will take place in June 2006.
I have come to this decision because; there is no evidence, provided by TAIC or obtained from other sources, to suggest that the pilot had a risk of sudden incapacitation that was outside of the acceptable limits. Certainly the pilot failed to meet our medical standards but he was subsequently assessed under the flexibility provisions of the legislation. This case-by-case assessment considered the medical information available, including the aortic flow characteristics, and determined that the incapacitation risk was within acceptable limits. In issuing that medical certificate stringent medical surveillance requirements were also imposed

I will accept this recommendation and will continue to promote the early introduction of terrain awareness and warning systems for Part135 aircraft consistent with the time frame established with the Ministry of Transport. It is anticipated that the Draft NPRM will be completed by September 2006. No precise time frame for final implementation can be stated as the date is dependant on the consultation process being completed.
