SAFETY RECOMMENDATION ************************************************************ National
Transportation Safety Board Washington,
DC 20594 November
6, 2003 ************************************************************ Safety
Recommendations A-03-48 through -50 ************************************************************ The
Safety Board recommends that the Federal Aviation Administration: Require
that all newly manufactured transport-category aircraft that are
required to carry a flight data recorder be fitted with a flight data
recorder system capable of recording values that meet the accuracy
requirements through the full dynamic range of each parameter at a
frequency sufficient
to determine a complete, accurate, and unambiguous time history of
parameter activity, with emphasis on capturing each parameter's dynamic
motion at the maximum rate possible, including reversals of direction at
the maximum rate possible. (A-03-48) Require
that all existing transport aircraft that are required to carry a flight
data recorder be retrofitted with a flight data recorder system capable
of recording values that meet the accuracy requirements through the full
dynamic range of each parameter at a frequency sufficient to determine a
complete, accurate, and unambiguous time history of parameter activity,
with emphasis on capturing each parameter's dynamic motion at the
maximum rate possible, including reversals of direction at the maximum
rate expected. (A-03-49) Require
that within 2 years, all Airbus A300-600/A310 and Boeing 747-400
airplanes and any other aircraft that may be identified as recording
filtered data be retrofitted with a flight data recorder system capable
of recording values that meet the accuracy requirements through the full
dynamic range of each parameter at a frequency sufficient to determine a
complete, accurate, and unambiguous time history of parameter activity,
with emphasis on capturing each parameter's dynamic motion at the
maximum rate possible, including reversals of direction at the maximum
rate possible.
