The NTSB recommends that the Federal Aviation Administration:

• Require the installation of a crash-protected image recording system on all turbine-powered, nonexperimental, nonrestricted-category aircraft that are manufactured after January 1, 2007, that are not equipped with a flight data recorder, and that are operating under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 135 and 121 or that are being operated full-time or part-time for commercial or corporate purposes under Part 91. (A-03-62)
• Amend the current regulations for 14 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 91, 135, and 121 operations to require all turbine-powered, nonexperimental, nonrestrictedcategory aircraft that have the capability of seating six or more passengers to be equipped with an approved 2-hour cockpit voice recorder that is operated continuously from the start of the use of the checklist (before starting engines for the purpose of flight), to completion of the final checklist at the termination of the flight. (A-03-63)
• Require all turbine-powered, nonexperimental, nonrestricted- category aircraft that are manufactured prior to January 1, 2007, that are not equipped with a cockpit voice recorder, and that are operating under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 91, 135, and 121 to be retrofitted with a crash- protected image recording system by January 1, 2007. (A-03-64)
• Require all turbine-powered, nonexperimental, nonrestricted- category aircraft, that are manufactured prior to January 1, 2007, that are not equipped with a flight data recorder, and that are operating under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 135 and 121 or that are being used full-time or part- time for commercial or corporate purposes under Part 91 to be retrofitted with a crash-protected image recording system by January 1, 2010. (A-03-65)

The Safety Board is also reiterating A-99-59:

• Incorporate the European Organization for Civil Aviation Equipment's proposed standards for a crash-protective video recording system into a technical standards order.
