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.

For fly-by-wire flight control 

systems, where flight con-
trol surface position is a 
function of the displace-
ment of the control input 
device only, it is not nec-
essary to record this pa-
rameter. For airplanes that 
have a flight control break 
away capability that allows 
either pilot to operate the 
control independently, 
record both control force 
inputs. The control force 
inputs may be sampled al-
ternately once per 2 sec-
onds to produce the sam-
pling interval of 1.

range for throttle lever angle (TLA); for reverse thrust, reverse throttle lever angle (RLA) resolution is nonlinear over the active 
reverse thrust range, which is 51.54 degrees to 96.14 degrees. The resolved element is 2.8 degrees uniformly over the entire ac-
tive reverse thrust range, or 2.9% of the full range value of 96.14 degrees.

18

For all aircraft manufactured on or after December 6, 2010, the seconds per sampling interval is 0.125. Each input must be 

recorded at this rate. Alternately sampling inputs (interleaving) to meet this sampling interval is prohibited.
