NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Require that all newly manufactured transport-category aircraft that are required to carry a flight data recorder be fitted with a flight data recorder system capable of recording values that meet the accuracy requirements through the full dynamic range of each parameter at a frequency sufficient to determine a complete, accurate, and unambiguous time history of parameter activity, with emphasis on capturing each parameter's dynamic motion at the maximum rate possible, including reversals of direction at the maximum rate possible.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to mandate that newly built transport-category aircraft that require a flight data recorder be equipped with a system that records parameters with accuracy across the full dynamic range and at a sampling rate high enough to produce a complete and unambiguous time history, with particular focus on capturing the maximum possible rate of parameter motion, including reversals of direction.
This plain-language summary is written by FlightFinder to explain the recommendation above. It is not the official wording — the verbatim NTSB text is quoted above.
