An example of a corporation doing the bare minimum required by law.
Laws which they've lobbied and used regulatory capture to slow any updates.
Regulations are important.
These regulations were written a long time ago when physical tape was used. Boeing has since captured the American regulatory system.
It's an example of engineers being handed a requirement and meeting it.
No. If an engineer were to design this system today, it'd have hundreds of hours of recording.
This is either a mandate from management, a relic from old systems that haven't been updated, or a combination.
The FAA reqs are the relic. You don't just get to go nuts and add whatever you want to a product - especially on airplanes. They were given the requirements and met them.
I'm sure the FAA reqs specify a minimum.
Yeah, that's my point. The minimum is 2 hours. We deal with a lot of minimums and the culture doesn't really involve going past requirements. This is something you probably buy, rather than make in house (though I may be mistaken), so you're just going to find the one that meets minimum specs.
Huh. What do I think? Let me tell you what I think, Stan. If you want Boeing to have 25 hours of audio like your pretty boy EASA over there, then why don't you just make the minimum 25 hours of audio?
I agree. In fact it should probably be 240 hours of audio. I was simply refuting the slander on random engineers, as though they're the ones who made the choice of only two hours.
