Beachy, i know you're an old timer and all, ...
4: What would be a typical time lag between the sensor signal being
generated (for example aileron angle) and the data being logged to the
protected memory of the recorder?
L-3 Response: Per ED55, it shall not exceed 0.5 seconds,
5: Is the size of this recording delay regulated by industry or just
minimized by good design?
L-3 Response: Regulated per ED-55, Minimum Operational Performance
Specification for Flight Data Recorder Systems.
You refuse to call L3 and/or email them, instead you elect to believe the above is "hearsay". Nor are you able to look up the regs yourself. Got it.
Beachy, do us all a favor and just keep thinking its "hearsay". The rest of us will get on with our work.
Regards

The website explains Public Affairs “Provides […] point-of-contact liaisons for news media representatives.” I’m not exactly news media but am a journalist of sorts in that I run a 'blog and am active in discussion forums and generally respected within my narrow field of focus.
The issue at hand, and the reason I contact you, is that there are some questions about apparently erroneous data attributed back to the NTSB that is causing a lot of confusion in the public at the moment. I believe it’s in the Safety board’s interest to actively help me, and the public, sort this out a little bit. I’m not looking for an explanation, just any additional information that can be had to help shed light on the situation.
I’m also doing what I can through normal FOIA channels, but there is only so much I can actually find out that way, and so am exploring this possibility as well.
Mr. Larson:
As I explained to you when you called me yesterday, the National Transportation
Safety Board provided technical support to the federal government's
investigation into the terrorist attacks on September 11, which was conducted by
the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Among the assistance we provided were
identification of aircraft parts and read-outs of flight recorders recovered
from the Pentagon and Pennsylvania sites (we understand no recorders were
recovered from Ground Zero). Because this was not a Safety Board investigation,
it would be improper for us to discuss investigative findings. We did release,
under provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, some of the factual
information that we provided to the FBI; as you are aware, that information is
available on our website. Any interpretation or explanation of those data would
have to be rendered by the FBI.
Thank you for contacting me, and good luck on your project.

Adam has some serious issues and perhaps should seek professional help for his obsessive compulsive disorder.
He also thinks i "agree" with him. Not only does he have a problem with obsession, but he is clearly delusional.
I say we do what everyone else does... ignore him.

Yes, it is clear, you will not support your hearsay from a salesman with actual quotes for ED-55, or 124. Have you read 124 and ED-55 to check the hearsay statement from a salesman?
