| Background: | The German Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA) has received advice from the aircraft manufacturer that the FDR and CVR impact G-Switches do not meet the design requirements of JAR/FAR § 25.1459 (a) 5. Incorrect operation of the G-Switches may cause the loss of FDR and/or CVR data following an aircraft accident. |
