The safety board recommends the following to the FAA:
- •
Require all rotorcraft operating under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 91 and 135 with a transport-category certification to be equipped with a cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and a flight data recorder (FDR). For those transport- category rotorcraft manufactured before October 11, 1991, require a CVR and an FDR or an onboard cockpit image recorder with the capability of recording cockpit audio, crew communications, and aircraft parametric data. (A-06-17).
- •
Do not permit exemptions or exceptions to the flight recorder regulations that allow transport – category rotorcraft to operate without flight recorders, and withdraw the current exemptions and exceptions that allow transport- category rotorcraft to operate without flight recorders (A-06-18).
