Air Freight’s existing CVRs comply with New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority requirements.
Air Freight has, however, determined that the more modern solid state CVRs are deemed superior in operation to the existing metallic tape type CVRs. As a result Air Freight has scheduled the replacement of all CVRs in its Convair fleet with the upgraded CVRs.
The programme is expected to be completed by 31 October 2004.
