The National Transportation Safety Board recommends that the

flown commercial air tour routes in the Grand Canyon area, 
including those routes located outside of the Special 
Federal Aviation Regulations No. 50-2 airspace. (A-07-89)

Require all commercial air tour operators to maintain 
records of all safety-related complaints and complaint 
correspondence regarding pilot performance, document what 
actions the company took to address each complaint, and make 
the records available to the principal operations inspector 
for periodic review. (A-07-90)

Require all commercial air tour operators to maintain the 
names and contact information of all passengers, along with 
the respective flight's identification number, for at least 
30 days following the flights. (A-07-91)

Encourage commercial air tour operators to establish a 
structured flight operations monitoring program that 
incorporates routine reviews of all available sources of 
information to ensure that pilots are conducting flights in 
accordance with company operating practices. (A-07-92)
