Draft an amendment to Civil Aviation Rules for the Minister’s approval, upgrading the standard of recorders carried on board New Zealand registered aircraft to a minimum of an 11-parameter capable FDR and a TSO-C123a compliant CVR, without reducing any higher standard already contained in Civil Aviation Rules.

I will not accept this recommendation as an analysis (NPRM 97-1) was carried out in 1997-1998 and this is still valid. The CAA will continue to follow the FAA standards of FDR’s and CVR’s carried on board aircraft in New Zealand. Ref. Part 121.353 (2).
