NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE USERS OF MULTIENGINE, TURBINE POWERED AIRPLANES AND ROTORCRAFT: ENCOURAGE THEIR MEMBERS WHO OWN OR OPERATE MULTIENGINE, TURBINE-POWERED AIRCRAFT (BOTH AIRPLANES AND ROTORCRAFT) CERTIFICATED FOR TWO-PILOT OPERATION TO CARRY SIX OR MORE PASSENGERS, IN ANY TYPE OF OPERATION NOT CURRENTLY REQUIRED BY 14 CFR 121.359, 135.151, AND 127.127 TO HAVE A COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER, TO INSTALL "GENERAL AVIATION" COCKPIT VOICE RECORDERS, AND URGE THAT THEY RECORD VOICE COMMUNICATIONS TRANSMITTED FROM OR RECEIVED IN THE AIRCRAFT BY RADIO ON ONE CHANNEL, AND AUDIO SIGNALS FROM A COCKPIT AREA MICROPHONE ON A SEPARATE CHANNEL.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The NTSB recommends that users of multiengine, turbine-powered airplanes and rotorcraft encourage their members who own or operate such aircraft (certificated for two-pilot operation and carrying six or more passengers) to install general aviation cockpit voice recorders, unless already required by regulations. The recorders should capture radio communications on one channel and cockpit area microphone audio on a separate channel.
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.
