The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new rule to increase the cockpit voice-recording requirement substantially for all newly manufactured aircraft in the United States.
While current FAA regulations require cockpit voice recorders (CVRs) to retain only two hours of data, the proposed rule will require extending cockpit voice-recording to 25 hours.
When implemented, the new rule would align with regulations set by the International Civil Aviation Organization and European Union Aviation Safety Agency.
