CVR RIPS Mandate Deadline Pushed Out, But Don’t Delay
The Canadian Aviation Regulations for Cockpit Voice Recorders (CVRs) were amended in 2019. Effective May 29 2023, the implementation date was extended by the earlier of May 29, 2026, OR such a date as Transport Canada determines. Thus, Canadian-registered aircraft already equipped with a CVR, must have one with a recording capacity of at least 2 hours and a dedicated Recorder Independent Power Supply (RIPS) to power the CVR and the cockpit area microphone for at least 10 minutes whenever normal aircraft CVR power sources are interrupted. Additionally, operators using a datalink for communications with air traffic control, e.g. CPDLC, must also record those datalink communications.

Upgrades for Your Aircraft Type
MC2’s modification replaces any CVR installed in a wide range of business, airline and government aircraft. We considered all CVRs that could meet the rule and selected the Universal Avionics sixth-generation KAPTURE™ CVR-1651 Cockpit Voice Recorder with an internal Recorder Independent Power Supply (RIPS). The KAPTURE Line of CVRs delivers significant benefits:
- Lightweight with high MTBF
