NTSB Urges Airlines to Boost Smoke Drills

National Transportation Safety Board urges airlines to enhance pilot training for handling thick smoke in the cockpit, following a Southwest Airlines bird strike incident last December. The board emphasizes the need for more rigorous training, as current talk-through methods may not be sufficient for real-life emergencies, especially at night or in poor weather conditions. Boeing and engine maker CFM are also urged to address smoke issues in seven thirty-seven Max jets. Airlines must prioritize these drills to prevent potential tragedies.
