WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Federal safety investigators are recommending the immediate inspection of throttles on small personal jets manufactured by the Albuquerque-based Eclipse Aviation after one made an emergency landing in Chicago.

The National Transportation Safety Board urges the Federal Aviation Administration to require the immediate inspection of all Eclipse 500 aircraft. The NTSB also said the company must develop an emergency procedure for dual-engine control failure on that aircraft.

NTSB Chairman Mark Rosenker said the Eclipse 500 is still a new aircraft model and the safety issue needs "immediate attention."
