ICAO Doc 10101

This manual provides guidance material for the implementation of appropriate provisions for flight crew-machine interface recordings (FCMIRs), as required by Annex 6 Part I, 6.3.4, and provides references to the protections needed for these recordings. FCMIRs have in some cases already assisted accident investigators in determining causes/contributing factors and ultimately identifying ways to improve aviation safety. These provisions already accommodated image recordings of data link messages or instrument panels, if the aircraft was so equipped, and now require the recording of information displayed to the flight crew from electronic displays, as well as the operation of switches and selectors by the flight crew.
