2. What is Flight Data Recorder(FDR)?
• “A Flight Data Recorder is a
device used to record specific
aircraft performance
parameters”.
3. FDRs are usually located in the rear of the aircraft, typically in
the tail.
4. Black Box
FDR is also referred as Black Box , the data recorded by the
FDR is used for accident investigation, and also for
analyzing aircraft safety.
5. This records the conversation in the
cockpit, radio conversation between
cockpit crew and others including
conversation with ATC personnel.
6. . Power supply : 115v AC or 28v DC
. Battery backup : 30 day continuous
. Life span : six-year maximum
. Under water locater beacon
. Time recorded : 25 hours continuous
. Temperature : 1100deg/c
7. It has following main cards:
1. CPU card
2. Analog card
3. Discrete card
4. Frequency card
5. Audio card
6. Power supply card
The basic function of the flash memory is to store the program
that regulate and co ordinate among the 6 cards available,
and the programming language on which the software
works on is c++.
8. In case of overwater accident ULB is
provided with the locater which
transmits an acoustical signal on
37.5khz that can be detected with a
special receiver.
The beacon can transmit from depths
down to 14000 feet.

10. “With the help of data
surveillance it provide
a secure transportation
over the air”.
Different operating parameters are:Time, altitude, airspeed, heading, aircraft altitude. The FDR is a miniaturized computer system that tracks a variety of data regarding the flight of the plane, including its airspeed, position and altitude. The system is housed in a heavy metal container that is built to withstand the stress of a crash.
