Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) Training

WHAT?

The ICAO Annex 6 Standard mandates yearly operational checks and evaluations of in-flight Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) recordings to ensure their continued serviceability. The standards reference the EUROCAE ED-112A specifications. This new EUROCAE training aims to help participants understand the application of ED-112A within the context of CVR inspections.

This training will equip airlines with the necessary knowledge to accurately analyze CVR audio recordings, detect anomalies, and protect pilot privacy information.

In-flight audio analysis is crucial for maintaining the optimal quality of CVR recordings, which are analyzed by accident investigation authorities worldwide as part of safety investigations, ultimately contributing to the enhancement of aviation safety.

The instructor may also provide insights into identifying the potential sources of audio anomalies.

ED-112A is the standard applicable to the design and qualification of airborne crash recorders (CVR and DFDR) and is recognized as the Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) in AIR-OPS 965-2012 for CVR annual inspections (as mandated by EASA).

The purpose of the training is to enable participants to understand the application of ED-112A within the framework of CVR inspection as per AIR-OPS 965-2012.

WHY?
  • Assimilate the rules and requirements related to CVR inspection.
  • Understand:
    • Why CVR analysis is required.
    • Regulations related to CVR (ICAO, CS, AIR-OPS, TSO/ETSO).
    • CVR system description.
    • Audio parameters to consider as per applicable MOPS (ED-56A, ED-112, or ED-112A) according to the Certificate of Airworthiness (CofA).
  • Learn how the use of enhanced software tools can benefit CVR recording analysis, including examples of undesired events that affect recordings.
  • Gain a better understanding of BEA guidance.
  • Receive training from an expert in CVR analysis within the aviation domain.
  • EUROCAE will provide participants with the ED-112A document as part of the training.
  • Obtain a certificate of completion for the course.
WHO?
  • Anyone involved in CVR analysis as per AIR-OPS 965-2012 (airlines, MRO, Part 145).
  • No prior experience in CVR analysis is required, but access to aviation documentation (CS, AIR-OPS, EUROCAE) is beneficial.
