Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument granted a temporary, tailored exemption allowing one specific Cessna C550 (VH‑XCJ, s/n 550‑0810) to operate without the normally required digital flight data recorder.

The approval was limited to private (non‑commercial, non‑training) operations, required a functioning cockpit voice recorder as a safety measure, and expired 19 February 2006 — an example of a regulator issuing a single‑aircraft equipment waiver while preserving core safety safeguards.
