This CJ3 would have been operating under FAR Part 23 with a single pilot permitted by the MTOW being less that 12,500lbs and less than 10 passenger seats. Did I get that right?
FAR Part 23.1457 appears to require a cockpit voice recorder with the functionality described in Part 23.2500 ? Furthermore I don't believe this aircraft would be permitted to operate with a single pilot under any other worldwide jurisdiction (other than those few states that have decided to adopt FAA rules).
BTW.... That's not a question for the engineers !
CJs, in later 3, 3+ and 4 exceed 12,500 pounds, but are still Part 23 SP planes. All require type ratings. This was a 560, derivative of the Citation II, with a Part 25 exemption
