Does the AMC allow the use of a later equivalent standard to ED-112 for CVR operational performance requirements?

Yes, the AMC states that the operational performance requirements for CVRs should be those laid down in EUROCAE Document ED-112 dated March 2003, including Amendments No 1 and No 2, or any later equivalent standard produced by EUROCAE.

Are there any amendments to EUROCAE Document ED-112 that are explicitly included in the acceptable standards for CVR operational performance?

Yes, Amendments No 1 and No 2 are explicitly included.

Does the AMC require that the CVR equipment dedicated to the CVR meet both ED-56A and ED-112 simultaneously?

No, the AMC states that the equipment dedicated to the CVR should meet either ED-56A or ED-112 (including Amendments No 1 and No 2), or any later equivalent standard produced by EUROCAE.

What is the scope of the operational performance requirements in paragraph (a) of this AMC?

Paragraph (a) applies to helicopters first issued with an individual CofA on or after 1 January 2016, and specifies the operational performance requirements for cockpit voice recorders (CVRs).

Q: Which EUROCAE documents are acceptable for the operational performance requirements of equipment dedicated to the cockpit voice recorder?

The operational performance requirements for equipment dedicated to the CVR should be those laid down in EUROCAE Document ED-56A (Minimum Operational Performance Requirements For Cockpit Voice Recorder Systems) dated December 1993, or EUROCAE Document ED-112 (Minimum Operational Performance Specification for Crash Protected Airborne Recorder Systems) dated March 2003, including Amendments No 1 and No 2, or any later equivalent standard produced by EUROCAE.

Q: What is the exact title of EUROCAE Document ED-56A as referenced in this AMC?

The exact title is 'Minimum Operational Performance Requirements For Cockpit Voice Recorder Systems' dated December 1993.

Q: For helicopters with a CofA first issued before 1 January 2016, does this AMC specify the operational performance requirements for CVRs?

No, the AMC only specifies requirements for helicopters first issued with an individual CofA on or after 1 January 2016. It does not address helicopters with a CofA issued before that date.
