Black Box: How does it work?

After the events of Malaysia, we thought about how the so-called Black Box works on each plane.

The "black box" or "black box" is an electronic device, which is made to record the που συμβαίνουν κατά την διάρκεια μίας αεροπορικής πτήσης. Μια μονάδα black box αποτελείται από 2 τμήματα: το CVR (Cockpit Voice Recorder) και το FDR (Flight Data Recorder).

The VAT no., καταγράφει οτιδήποτε συμβαίνει στο θάλαμο διακυβέρνησης, όπως τις συνομιλίες με τον πύργο ελέγχου, τις συνομιλίες των πιλότων στο πιλοτήριο, θορύβους της μηχανής, μετεωρολογικά δελτία πτήσης, και άλλα. Έχει αυτονομία ωρών – μετά από αυτό το χρονικό it starts again from the beginning and continues recording from where it stopped.

The FDR, records all aircraft behavior during the flight.

The data recorded in the "black box" is used to analyze safety issues during a flight, and in case of an accident to investigate the causes.

It is called a "black box" but it is not black. It is orange to be easily detected in case of a plane crash and much more if it has fallen into the sea.

It is placed in the tail of the aircraft because it has been found to be the safest point. It can withstand very high temperatures (1.100 degrees Celsius for 1 hour or 250 temperature Celsius for 10 hours). It withstands the depth pressure up to 6.000 meters.

A special transmitter that is placed in the "black box" as soon as it comes in contact with water, begins to emit a signal that can be detected at a depth of up to 5.000 meters.
