NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Take action within 180 days to ensure compliance of the U.S. carriers subject to 14 CFR 121.343(c). Actions should include (a) performing a readout of each retrofitted airplane's 11-parameter flight data recorder (FDR) to determine that all required FDR parameters are being recorded and to verify that each parameter is working properly, and (b) reviewing the FDR system documentation to determine compliance with the range, accuracy, resolution, and recording interval specified in 14 CFR Part 121, Appendix B. (Superseded by A-98-053)
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is required, within 180 days, to ensure that U.S. carriers under 14 CFR 121.343(c) comply with the regulation. The FAA must (a) read out each retrofitted airplane's 11-parameter flight data recorder to confirm all parameters are recorded and functioning, and (b) review the FDR system documentation to verify compliance with the range, accuracy, resolution, and recording interval specified in 14 CFR Part 121, Appendix B.
