Regarding the rumour of 2 minute buffering of DFDRs -
something
got lost in translation here and cannot be true. Furthermore, the
following specifications are listed for FDRs in EUROCAE ED-112
document, entitled "Minimum performance specifications" (PDF p.167):
Altitude/Speed/Heading: 1 Hz
Acceleration: 8 or 4 Hz
Control surfaces: 16 Hz
Pitch: 4 Hz
Roll: 2 Hz
Yaw: can't find it!

@Etud - speaking of translations, here's a quick one:
It's not "Ne c'est pas?" but "N'est ce pas?"
Now back to regular programming...
