Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Require that "general aviation" cockpit voice recorders (on aircraft certificated for two-pilot operation) and flight data recorders be installed when they become commercially available as standard equipment in all multiengine, turbine-powered fixed-wing aircraft and rotorcraft 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, 135.151, and 127.127 to have a cockpit voice recorder and/or a flight data recorder.

The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to require that general aviation cockpit voice recorders and flight data recorders be installed when commercially available as standard equipment. This applies to multiengine, turbine-powered fixed-wing aircraft and rotorcraft certified for six or more passengers, manufactured after a specified date, that are not already required to have these devices under existing regulations.
