This recommendation appears to reflect Ansett New Zealand's present policy as expressed by the Company's current procedures. Type specific instructions are included in Standard Operating Procedures, as are the procedures considered necessary to implement the concept of a sterile flight deck during "critical phases of a flight".

Accordingly, whilst Ansett New Zealand agrees with the apparent intention of this safety recommendation, the Company considered that its present procedures meet the safety recommendation for the instruction of Flight Attendants.
