Standardized Flight Recorder Documentation

The need for an international standard to document the format and arrangement of flight data recorded by Flight Data Recorder Systems (FDRS) has long been recognized by air safety investigators responsible for the retrieval and analysis of FDR data following an occurrence. Significant time delays can be eliminated where complete and accurate information about the Flight Data Recorder System is readily available to investigative authorities.
