Air Recommendations - 1999

The Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board Act requires that federal Ministers provide formal responses to the TSB as to action taken or planned in response to our recommendations.

The Board also makes recommendations to other organizations and will assess all these responses and evaluate the degree to which they address the safety issues and deficiencies using an Assessment Rating Guide.

For recommendations and assessments made prior to January 1, 2005, please refer to our Annual Reports.

The Department of Transport sponsor modifications to the existing design of the emergency exit handle access system on Bell models 204, 205, 212, and 214 helicopters that are currently equipped with emergency exit handle covers, to ensure that the emergency exit handles can consistently and easily be accessed.
