NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: AMEND 14 CFR 135.151 TO REQUIRE THAT THOSE AIRCRAFT (BOTH FIXED-WING AND ROTORCRAFT) CAPABLE OF CARRYING 20 PASSENGERS OR MORE, AND NOT CURRENTLY REQUIRED BY 14 CFR 121.359 OR 135.151 TO HAVE A COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER, BE EQUIPPED WITH A COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER THAT MEETS 14 CFR 121.359 REQUIREMENTS. (Supersedes Safety Recommendations A-78-028, A-82-064 through A-82-067, A-82-106 through A-82-111)
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The NTSB asks the FAA to update 14 CFR 135.151 so that any fixed-wing or rotorcraft that can carry 20 or more passengers and is not already required by 14 CFR 121.359 or 135.151 to have a cockpit voice recorder must be equipped with one that meets the standards of 14 CFR 121.359. This recommendation replaces several earlier ones.
