SYNOPSIS

A flight data recorder (FDR), a cockpit voice recorder (CVR), and a combined cockpit voice and flight data recorder are the three basic types of recording devices used in aerospace (CVFDR). These gadgets record an aircraft's flight history and supply crucial data for fleet management and flight investigations.

Distinct types of data must be provided for each flight investigation to conduct an in-depth study, reproduce what actually had occurred, and investigate the underlying causes of any incident or accident. Hence comes the real need these flight data recording to be always made available and its requirements are governed by regulations through the regulatory bodies.

How and what is recorded in a flight cycle from engine start until engine shutdown? How can we use these data to analyze and effectively produce a clear picture of what happened and put in place preventive measures for the future? This webinar touches only the basic fundamentals of the flight data recording system and general understanding of how the data is captured, what happens with it and how engineers and analysts use to simulate, prevent and predict any event as real as it can be for positive learnings.
