The FAA fixed typos in the new 25-hour cockpit voice recorder rule
What happened
The US aviation regulator fixed minor errors in its new rule requiring 25-hour cockpit voice recorders on new aircraft. This correction ensures the rule's text is accurate in the Code of Federal Regulations.
Why it matters
This document is a housekeeping item. It cleans up the text of a rule that was already published. It does not change the substance of the rule itself. The actual rule, which requires longer cockpit voice recordings, is the important part.
The signal
The rule itself takes effect in 2026. Watch for how aircraft manufacturers adapt their production lines to meet the new recording duration.
