I&#x27;m fairly certain it&#x27;s the same here in the US. However, being as the video was from August 1989, I&#x27;m not sure what the regulations were. For instance, it wasn&#x27;t until ASA flight 2311&#x27;s crash in 1991 [1] when the regulations were changed to require CVRs and FDRs on small commuter aircraft, and general aviation has AFAIK traditionally lagged a bit behind. This may be one area where it hasn&#x27;t.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Atlantic_Southeast_Airlines_Flight_2311" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Atlantic_Southeast_Airlines_Fl...</a><p>(Edited to fix the date, which I typoed. I just watched this on an episode of Mayday, which did bit of a disservice to the NTSB and Embraer tests.)
