NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FAA: AMEND, BY 12/31/95, 14 CFR 121.343, 125.225, & 135.152 TO REQUIRE THAT ALL AIRPLANES OPERATED UNDER 14 CFR PARTS 121, 125, OR 135 (10 SEATS OR LARGER), FOR WHICH AN ORIGINAL AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE IS RECEIVED AFTER 12/31/96, RECORD THE PARAMETERS LISTED IN "PROPOSED FDR ENHANCEMENTS FOR NEWLY MANUFACTURED AIRPLANES" ON A FLIGHT DATA RECORDER HAVING AT LEAST A 25-HOUR RECORDING CAPACITY.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The NTSB urged the FAA to update aviation regulations so that larger commercial aircraft certified after the end of 1996 must record specific flight data on a recorder capable of storing at least 25 hours of information. This measure aims to improve safety by ensuring that newly manufactured planes in these operational categories capture essential performance parameters for future analysis.
