A-82-107
NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Require that all multiengine, turbine-powered, fixed wing aircraft certificated to carry six or more passengers manufactured on or after a specified date, 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, be prewired to accept a "general aviation" cockpit voice recorder (if also 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. (Superseded by A-87-77 through -89)
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to require that certain multiengine, turbine-powered, fixed-wing aircraft certified to carry six or more passengers and manufactured on or after a specified date, which are not already required to have cockpit voice and flight data recorders, be prewired to accept such recorders. The prewiring must accommodate a general aviation cockpit voice recorder with at least one radio communications channel and one cockpit area microphone channel, and a general aviation flight data recorder capable of recording 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.
