Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This is a time-limited safety regulation exemption for an airline. It allows National Jet Systems (operating as Cobham Aviation) to switch off the "black box" flight data recorders on their Boeing 717 aircraft only when the parking brake is on.

Normally, flight data recorders must run continuously during flight operations to capture safety data. This exemption creates a narrow exception for when the plane is parked (parking brake applied).

Key points:

Who: Only applies to National Jet Systems (Cobham Aviation) and their Boeing 717 fleet
What: Permission to stop the flight data recorder when the parking brake is engaged
Limits: The airline must follow all other rules about flight recorders. The exemption does not apply when the aircraft is moving or the brake is off.
