APIM Abstract
Provides design guidance for the development and installation of an Enhanced Airborne Flight Recorder (EAFR). Also addresses combinations of any or all of the following in a single Line Replaceable Unit (LRU), a Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) function, a Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) function, a data link recording function, and an image recording function.
