La Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes extending the cockpit voice recording requirement to 25 hours for all newly manufactured aircraft.
The voice recorder is one of two black boxes that captures all transmissions and all sons in the cockpit, including pilot voices and engine sounds. “This rule will give us much more data to identify the causes of incidents and help prevent them in the future”said FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker.
The FAA committed to action on this issue following the March 2023 Safety Summit, where more than 200 safety leaders gathered to discuss ways to improve flight safety. This rule would be consistent with regulations established by theInternational Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency. Current FAA regulations require voice recorders to only retain two o’clock of data.
The proposed rule was scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on Monday, December 4, 2023, and the public will have 60 days to comment on the proposal.
