NATA Takes Issue with CVR Recommendations

Responding to an NTSB reiteration for cockpit voice recorder (CVR) installations in all new turbine-powered aircraft, the National Air Transportation Association said it cannot support the recommendations because there has been no cost-benefit analysis or assessment of the impact on small business.

NATA said the sweeping recommendations–if adopted by the FAA–would affect nearly every jet aircraft operated under FAR Part 135. For the first time, the NTSB is also proposing that these recording requirements also apply to Part 91 jet aircraft used for “commercial or corporate purposes.”
