Recommendation text
TO THE MANUFACTURERS OF MULTIENGINE TURBINE-POWERED AIRPLANES AND ROTORCRAFT: Prewire all newly manufactured multiengine, turbine-powered fixed-wing air craft certified to carry six or more passengers in any type of operation not currently required by 14 cfr 121.343 121.359, and 135.151 to have a cockpit voice recorder and/or a flight data recorder, to accept a "general aviation" cockpit voice recorder (if certificated for two-pilot operation) with at least one channel for voice communications transmitted from or received in the aircraft by radio, and one channel for audio signals from a cockpit area microphone, and a "general aviation" flight data recorder to record sufficient data parameters to determine the information in table i (parameters, range, installed system minimum accuracy, sampling interval, engine power) as a function of time.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
Manufacturers of multiengine turbine-powered airplanes and rotorcraft must prewire all newly built multiengine turbine-powered fixed-wing aircraft certified to carry six or more passengers, which are not already required by 14 CFR 121.343, 121.359, and 135.151 to have a cockpit voice recorder or flight data recorder, to accept a 'general aviation' cockpit voice recorder with at least one channel for radio communications and one for cockpit area microphone audio, and a 'general aviation' flight data recorder that records parameters listed in Table I.
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.
