Description
The FAA is proposing to increase the minimum recording time of cockpit voice recorders (CVR) from the currently mandated two hours to 25 hours on all applicable newly produced aircraft manufactured starting one year after the effective date of the final rule. The new rule would not expand CVR applicability in the general aviation fleet, continuing instead to apply only to aircraft already required to have a CVR: under Part 91, multiengine, turbine-powered aircraft with 10 or more passenger seats manufactured since Oct. 11, 1991, and under Part 135, multiengine, turbine-powered aircraft with six or more passenger seats manufactured since April 7, 2010. Comments are due Feb. 4, 2024.
