<p>So-called “lightweight, crash-resistant” flight data recorders (FDRs) would be required on certain light aircraft under a notice of proposed amendment from the European Aviation Safety Agency. If adopted, the rule would require FDRs on airplanes and helicopters that are commercially operated, manufactured starting three years after the effective date of the rule and have passenger seating for more than nine (for airplanes) or are turbine powered with an mtow of 6,500 pounds or more (for airplanes and helicopters).<br>
Comments on the proposal are due by July 3 this year.</p>
