The FAA has announced a new rulemaking process that will require aircraft to have longer duration Cockpit Voice Recorders (CVRs) following a series of near-collisions on US runways. The CVRs will now capture 25 hours of information, instead of the current two hours, in order to prevent future close calls and ensure the safety of passengers and crew. The rulemaking process can take multiple years, and the agency has welcomed intervention from Congress on the matter.
