Recommendation

SIAF recommends that the EASA study the possibility of drawing up a proposal for a standard which would suggest that all GPS devices intended for use in aviation have a function that records the parameters of the route flown. Moreover, the memory of such devices should not require a power source to retain the stored data. A similar safety recommendation was already issued in 2009, in conjunction with Investigation Report B3/2008L.
