The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) has proposed a new airworthiness directive for certain MHI RJ Aviation ULC airplanes due to a safety issue with the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) impact switch being installed incorrectly. This incorrect installation could lead to loss of critical data in an accident. The proposed directive requires inspections and corrections to ensure the switch is installed correctly to maintain flight safety. Interested parties have until April 7, 2025, to comment on the proposal.
Simple Explanation
Imagine if your voice recorder was put in your toy car the wrong way, and it couldn't tell stories if something happened. The grown-ups who take care of airplanes want to make sure all the airplane voice recorders are put in correctly so they always work properly, and people have time until a certain day to share their thoughts about this.
