NTSB Safety Recommendations A-08-71 and -72

************************************************************

The National Transportation Safety Board recommends that the 
Federal Aviation Administration:

Conduct research, in conjunction with the United States 
Parachute Association, to determine the most effective dual-
point restraint systems for parachutists that reflects the 
various aircraft and seating configurations used in 
parachute operations. (A-08-71)

Once the most effective dual-point restraint systems for 
parachutists are determined, as requested in Safety 
Recommendation A-08-71, revise Advisory Circular 105-2C, 
Sport Parachute Jumping, to include guidance information 
about these systems. (A-08-72)
