Title: Revisions to Cockpit Voice Recorder and Digital Flight Data Recorder Regulations
Abstract: This action proposes to amend the cockpit voice recorder and digital flight data recorder regulations for certain air carriers, operators, and aircraft manufacturers. This proposal is based on recommendations issued by the National Transportation Safety Board following the investigations of several accidents and incidents, and includes other revisions that the FAA has determined are necessary. This proposal would require that all newly manufactured airplanes have CVR installed that "receives its electrical power from the bus that provides the maximum reliability for operation of the cockpit voice recorder without jeopardizing service to essential or emergency loads." This same language is in the proposed certification rules for the CVR and DFDR installations.
