In summary: they recommend (not mandate) that most new turbine-powered helicopters (including R66) get audio/visual recorders as standard equipment, and that they become available for installation on existing turbine helicopters. Pistons are exempt.

Why not pistons? You are just as likely to smack an R44 into a hillside as an R66, for example, so why have evidence of one and not the other?

They have been saying this for years. The report specifically mentions the 2005 Copterline 103 accident (although not by name), and the usefulness of the CVFDR in the investigation - the lack of FDR data is discussed at length in the NSB report into the ERA S76 CFIT in 2004: http://libraryonline.erau.edu/online...s/AAR06-02.pdf (specific reference to 103 on page 57)
