It was found that the RUSTRAK recorder was only slightly hampered by aircraft vibration while in level cruising flight or while taxiing, regardless of light turbulence or particular mounting configuration. No one mounting configuration was better than the other. There is some (approximately 1/4 inch) vibration error during climbs, descents, and touchdowns in choppy weather. However, it was found that improved performance resulted from setting the recorder on carpet rather than the metal floor plate. This suggests that padding the recorder with some cushioning, shock-damping material might reduce the engine vibration and wind chop effects.
