§ 25.981(c) that would be moved to the 

proposed § 25.981(e). We will consider 

combining this guidance for all 

transport category airplanes into one AC 

when the final rule and AC are issued. 

It is one means, but not the only 

means, of complying with the part 25 

revisions proposed in Notice No. 05–14 

entitled ‘‘Fuel Tank Flammability 

Reduction,’’ published in this same 

edition of the Federal Register. Issuance 

of AC 25.981–2A is contingent on final 

adoption of the proposed revisions to 

part 25. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on November 

18, 2005.

Background 

Digital messaging technology created 

a need for a data-link recorder system 

that would ensure the information and 

data necessary for the investigation of 

incidents and accidents continues to be 

recorded on-board the aircraft. It is 

important that these digital messages are 

properly recorded and that the timing 

correlation between cockpit displays 

and other aircraft systems are preserved. 

This proposed TSO prescribes the 

minimum performance standards for 

data-link recorder systems equipment 

necessary to receive, process, record, 

preserve, and retrieve Communication, 

Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic 

Management (CNS/ATM) digital
