Introduction
The Black Box is a Flight Recorder used to record specific Aircraft performance parameters

Inside the black-box
Flight Data Recorder (FDR)
Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR)

Flight Data Recorders
The Flight Data Recorder(FDR) is designed to record the operating data
from the plane’s systems
• Time • Pressure altitude • Airspeed • Vertical acceleration • Rudder-pedal position • Control-wheel position • Horizontal stabilizer • Fuel flow
Few Parameters Recorded By Most FDRs

Cockpit Voice Recorder
CVR is designed to track the conversations of flight crew

Technology Used For Recording And Storage
Magnetic tape
Solid-state technology
Memory Boards
Magnetic tape recorder Solid state recorder• Introduced in the
1960s• It can track about 100
parameters.
• Magnetic-Tape CVRs store the last 30 minutes of sound.
• Introduced in the 1990s
• It can track more than 700 parameters in larger aircraft.
• CVRs that used solid-state storage can record 2 hours of audio.

Built To Survive• In many airline accidents, the only devices that Survive are the Crash-survivable memory units (CSMUs) of the flight data recorders and cockpit voice recorders.• Typically, the rest of the recorders’ chassis and inner components are mangled.
14
Testing a CSMUThere are several tests that make up the crash-survival sequence:
Crash impact Pin drop Static crush Fire test Deep-sea submersion Salt-water submersion Fluid immersion
Working of Black Box
Underwater Locator Beacon (ULB)
Submergence sensor on the side of the beacon.
Pulses at 37.5 kilohertz (kHz).
sound as deep as 14,000 feet (4,267 m).
The beacon cannot be heard by the human ear but can be easily detected by sonar. 15
Working of Black Box
Retrieving Information
This portable interface can allow investigators quick access to the data on a black box..
Retrieval of FDR Retrieval of CVR Once the beacon begins
"pinging," it pings once per second for 30 days.
16
Use of Black Box
• Retrieval comes first.• Help identify the reasons for a plane crash.
“Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them”

Challenges….!
20
• From the study of Black Box we derived a information that how the information about aircraft mishap is analyzed & unanswered question is answered.
• The black box was good, in its time .• Let’s pray for safe Journey.• The U.S. government's Next Generation Air
Transportation System, is now to take up the challenge.
