CVR is recording at least the last two hours while FDR is at least the last twenty five hours. The cockpit video will then be like just putting face behind the voice (from CVR which is already well in place) which many are against. Many are against to cockpit video implementation as it will reveal ...

Re: NTSB Renews Calls for Cockpit Video Recorders

How are current CVR recordings validated to ensure that it is correctly recording the audio in the flight deck? Who is actually authorised to perform these validation checks (if at all)? I do not believe the voice data is encrypted, so does the CVR, in its current shape and form, actually comply wi...

Is a flight deck printer an option?

There is no load 15 report on the A350, if required landing data is downloaded onto a usb and emailed to Airbus.

Re: A350 Flight Deck Printer?

The printer can be inoperative under MMEL but imagine the implication of not having it - like for example that there would be no auto print of Report 15 (suspected hard landing).
