Title: Revisions to Digital Flight Data Recorder Regulations for B-737 Airplanes and for Part 125 Operators 
Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the regulations governing flight data recorders to increase the number of digital flight data recorder parameters for all Boeing 737 series airplanes manufactured after August 18, 2000. This change is based on safety recommendations from the National Transportation Safety Board following its investigations of two accidents and several incidents involving 737s. This rulemaking would also adopt a prohibition on deviations from flight recorder requirements for all airplanes operated under part 125.
