NTSB Safety Recommendation A-09-29

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

The National Transportation Safety Board makes the following

recommendation to American Airlines:

Evaluate your Continuing Analysis and Surveillance System

program to determine why it failed to (1) identify

deficiencies in its maintenance program associated with the

MD-80 engine no-start failure and (2) discover the lack of

compliance with company procedures. Then, make necessary

modifications to the program to correct these shortcomings.

(A-09-29)
