Federal Aviation Administration, DOT Pt. 135, App. F APPENDIX F TO PART 135—AIRPLANE FLIGHT RECORDER SPECIFICATION The recorded values must meet the designated range, resolution and accuracy requirements during static and dynamic condi- tions. Dynamic condition means the parameter is experiencing change at the maximum rate attainable, including the maximum rate of reversal. All data recorded must be correlated in time to within one second.
