CARAC Activity Reporting Notice #: 2021-016 Lightweight Data Recorders

CAAA was recently made aware that CARAC has published proposed amendments to require lightweight data recorders in all Canadian registered aircraft: CARAC Activity Reporting Notice #: 2021-016 Lightweight Data Recorders. If approved, this would require the installation of a Lightweight Flight Data Recorder on all newly manufactured aircraft being imported into Canada starting 2 years after approval of this regulation. In addition, all agricultural aircraft already operating in Canada would be required to have these Lightweight Flight Data Recorders within 5 years after approval of this regulation.
