aeroplane first begins moving under its own power, until the time the flight is terminated and the aeroplane can no longer move under its own power.
 (2) Subject to subsection (4), a CVR fitted to an aeroplane under this Division must:
 (a) start to record before the aeroplane first begins moving under its own power for a flight;
 (b) as far as practicable, if electrical power is available, start to record as early as possible during the cockpit checks before the engines are started at the beginning of the flight; and
 (c) record continuously until the termination of the flight when the aeroplane is no longer capable of moving under its own power and the engines have been shut down; and
 (d) as far as practicable, if electrical power is available, continue recording until as close as possible to the conclusion of the cockpit checks immediately following engine shutdown at the end of the flight.
 (3) The FDR and CVR within a combination recorder, fitted to an aeroplane under this Division, must record continuously during the same periods as an FDR and CVR are required to operate under subsections (1) and (2).
 (4) If:
 (a) there is no APU, or other alternative power source, for the aeroplane; and
 (b) it is reasonably necessary to preserve the aeroplane's primary power source in order to start the aeroplane's engines; and
 (c) the FDR is operated continuously during the period beginning just before the engines are started for take-off and ending when the final pilot checklist is completed at the end of the flight;
then, a CVR fitted to an aeroplane under this Division must record continuously during the period:
 (d) beginning after the engines are started for the flight; and
 (e) ending when the final pilot checklist is completed at the end of the flight.
 (5) An FDR or combination recorder, fitted to an aeroplane under this Division, must not be operated during the maintenance of the aeroplane or an aeronautical product fitted to the aeroplane, except if the maintenance is to the recorder or an engine.
 (6) For subsection (5), an APU fitted to the aeroplane is not an engine, unless it is capable of propelling the aeroplane.
 (7) This section applies subject to section 11.35.

11.35  Flight with an inoperative FDR, CVR or combination recorder
  An FDR, CVR, or combination recorder, fitted to an aeroplane under this Division, may be inoperative at the beginning of a flight only if:
 (a) the flight begins from a departure aerodrome with no facility for the recorder to be repaired or replaced; and
 (b) each of the following is the case:
 (i) one FDR or CVR (whether alone or within a combination recorder) remains
