The AOPA Pilot reported that as a result of two 1989 and one 1990 near-midair-collision incidents involving NASA astronauts flying T-38A Talons, the NTSB made recommendations to NASA and the FAA. Such planes required the pilot to fly manually without an autopilot and to navigate while communicating with air traffic control (ATC). The NTSB recommended the NASA planes be equipped with altitude alerting devices and upgraded navigation/communication equipment as well as weather radar and that pilots write down ATC instructions and file for preferred routes.
