FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Gregory Frye, Avionics Systems 
Branch, AIR-130, Aircraft Certification Service, Aircraft Engineering

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The primary purposes of an advisory circular (AC) are: (1) Provide 
an acceptable means by which an Aircraft Certification Office project 
engineer can effectively evaluate an applicant's compliance to a 
specific Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR); and (2) provide an 
acceptable means that an applicant may comply with a specific FAR. In 
the case of this proposed AC, the regulatory requirements (FAR) to 
equip an aircraft with a system for an onboard recording to voice and 
data communications in a crash survivable memory, has not completed the 
rulemaking process. Therefore, the offering of the proposed advisory 
circular to the public for comments is premature.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on May 6, 2003.
Susan J.M. Cabler,
Deputy Manager, Aircraft Engineering Division, Aircraft Certification 
Service.
