Black Box explainer

The video explores the role of flight data and cockpit voice recorders in air accident investigations at Cranfield University. It details the parameters recorded by flight data recorders, such as aircraft movements and engine thrust, but notes their limitations in capturing context like weather or passenger activity. Cockpit voice recorders complement this by recording pilot communications. The video also highlights the durability of these recorders and the challenges in locating them, especially if an aircraft crashes in remote areas like the southern Indian Ocean.
