Revisions to Digital Flight Data Recorder Requirements for Airbus 
Airplanes; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final Rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register on 
August 24, 1999, (64 FR 46117). The rule amended the flight data 
recorder regulations by adding language to allow certain Airbus 
airplanes to record certain data parameters using resolution and 
sampling requirements that differed slightly from the regulation. This 
document makes certain corrections to Appendix E to Part 125, Airplane 
Flight Recorder Specifications.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 17, 1999.

Branch (AFS-201), Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation 
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591, 
telephone (202) 267-8166.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 24, 1999, the FAA published an 
amendment to the flight data recorder requirements of 14 CFR Parts 121 
and 125 (64 FR 46117). In the amendment to Appendix E to Part 125, 
Airplane Flight Recorder Specifications, one parameter listing was 
inadvertently omitted. This action corrects that omission.

make the following correction:
    On page 46122, third column, in Appendix E to Part 125, Airplane 
Flight Recorder Specifications, insert parameter 21, in numerical 
order, to read as follows:

Appendix E to Part 125--Airplane Flight Recorder Specifications

    The recorded values must meet the designated range, resolution, and 
accuracy requirements during dynamic and static conditions. All data 
recorded must be correlated in time to within one second.
