Abstract
This action amends the flight data recorder regulations by adding language to allow certain Airbus airplanes to record certain data parameters using resolution and sampling requirements that differ slightly from the current regulation. This amendment is necessary because the Airbus airplanes are unable to record certain flight parameters under the existing criteria without undergoing unintended and expensive retrofit.
