A-82-066
NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Amend 14 CFR 121.343 so that, after a specified date, all aircraft manufactured after that date, regardless of the date of original type certificate, be equipped with one or more approved flight recorders that record data from which the information listed in table I [see greensheet] can be determined as a function of time. For newly type-certificated aircraft, any dedicated parameter which may be necessary because of unique features of the specific aircraft configuration and the type design should also be required. (Superseded by A-87-77 through -89)
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to update 14 CFR 121.343 to require that all aircraft manufactured after a future date be equipped with approved flight recorders that record specified data over time, regardless of the original type certificate date. For newly type-certificated aircraft, the rule should also mandate any additional parameters needed due to unique design or configuration features.
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.
