Recommendation text
TO THE MANUFACTURERS OF MULTIENGINE TURBINE-POWERED AIRPLANES AND ROTORCRAFT: Install "general aviation" cockpit voice recorders (on aircraft certificated for two-pilot operation) and flight data recorders when they become commercially available as standard equipment in all newly manufactured multiengine, turbine-powered fixed wing aircraft and rotorcraft ceritficated to carry six or more passengers in any type of operation not currently required by 14 CFR 121.343, 121.359, 135.151, and 127.127 to have a cockpit voice recorder and/or a flight data recorder.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
Manufacturers of multiengine turbine-powered airplanes and rotorcraft must install "general aviation" cockpit voice recorders and flight data recorders as standard equipment in all newly manufactured aircraft that are certificated for two-pilot operation and carry six or more passengers, but only when such recorders become commercially available. This requirement applies to operations not already covered by existing regulations (14 CFR 121.343, 121.359, 135.151, and 127.127).
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.
