SPO.IDE.A.150(a) GM1 Data Link Recording
APPLICABILITY OF THE DATA LINK RECORDING REQUIREMENT
(a) If it is certain that the aeroplane cannot use data link communication messages for ATS
communications corresponding to any application designated by SPO.IDE.A.150(1), then
the data link recording requirement does not apply.
(b) Examples where the aeroplane cannot use data link communication messages for ATS
communications include but are not limited to the cases where:
(1) the aeroplane data link communication capability is disabled permanently and in a
way that it cannot be enabled again during the flight;
(2) data link communications are not used to support air traffic service (ATS) in the area
of operation of the aeroplane; and
(3) the aeroplane data link communication equipment cannot communicate with the
equipment used by ATS in the area of operation of the aeroplane
SPO.IDE.A.155 Flight data and cockpit voice combination recorder
Compliance with CVR requirements and FDR requirements may be achieved by:
(a) one flight data and cockpit voice combination recorder if the aeroplane has to be equipped
with a CVR or an FDR; or
(b) two flight data and cockpit voice combination recorders if the aeroplane has to be equipped
with a CVR and an FDR.
SPO.IDE.A.155 AMC1 Flight Data And Cockpit Voice Combination Recorder
GENERAL
When two flight data and cockpit voice combination recorders are installed, one should be located
near the flight crew compartment in order to minimise the risk of data loss due to a failure of the wiring
that gathers data to the recorder. The other should be located at the rear section of the aeroplane, in
order to minimise the risk of data loss due to recorder damage in the case of a crash
SPO.IDE.A.155 GM1 Flight data and cockpit voice combination recorder
GENERAL
(a) A flight data and cockpit voice combination recorder is a flight recorder that records:
(1) all voice communications and the aural environment required by SPO.IDE.A.140;
and
(2) all parameters and specifications required by SPO.IDE.A.145, with the same
specifications required by SPO.IDE.A.140 and SPO.IDE.A.145.
(b) In addition a flight data and cockpit voice combination recorder may record data link
communication messages and related information required by SPO.IDE.A.150.
SPO.IDE.A.160 Seats, seat safety belts and restraint systems
Aeroplanes shall be equipped with:
(a) a seat or station for each crew member or task specialist on board;
(b) a seat belt on each seat, and restraint devices for each station;
(c) for other-than-complex motor-powered aeroplanes, a seat belt with upper torso restraint
system on each flight crew seat, having a single point release for aeroplanes having a
CofA first issued on or after 25 August 2016;
(d) for complex motor-powered aeroplanes, a seat belt with upper torso restraint system,
incorporating a device that will automatically restrain the occupant's torso in the event of
rapid deceleration:
(1) on each flight crew seat and on any seat alongside a pilot's seat; and
(2) on each observer's seat located in the flight crew compartment.
(e) The seat belt with upper torso restraint system required under point (d) shall have:
(1) a single point release;
(2) on flight crew members seats and on any seat alongside a pilot's seat, either of the
