We are pleased to announce the availability of the following draft EUROCAE document prepared by EUROCAE WG-118 Crash-Protected and Lightweight Flight Recorders (SG-2 Recording Systems for AAM):

• ED-xxx: Minimum Aviation System Performance Standard for AAM Aircraft Recording Systems. 

Due to the uniqueness of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) aircraft which includes UAS, and the large variation in system size, provisions for recording system requirements in terms of scale and complexity need to be determined relative to the type of operation the AAM aircraft will be involved in. Due to the complexity of the recording systems MASPS, covering the end-to-end system and covering the control station, is considered more adequate than MOPS. The AAM aircraft recordings need to be considered taking into account three aspects: the data recording requirements and equipment needed in the AAM aircraft, the recording of C2-link and the data recording and equipment requirements in control station, as applicable.

You are invited to review the proposed draft on the EUROCAE Workspace and complete the comment form. If you are a non-member of EUROCAE, please register here (and click on “Access only to Open Consultation”). Early replies are encouraged.
