What is the black box flight recorder used for?
The black box flight recorder does exactly what you think it does. It tapes the in cockpit conversation between the pilots. Anything said in the cockpit is picked up by the voice recorder. The flight recorder is a digital computer reading of the flights instrument panel and records such statistics as speed, altitude, pitch, and bank etc. The flight recorder also records the movements the pilots make with the controls such as a throttle increase, a flap reduction or deployment, and any movements on the control stick or yoke. These recordings are made so that if that aircraft was to crash, investigators would be able to recover the flight recorder data and analyze it in an investigation to try and figure out what caused the accident. Early flight recorders used metal styluses to inscribe the info into slowly turning foil disks, much like vinyl records except metal. Often these had to be read with special microscopes. Later they used magnetic recording heads to record info on magnetic foil disks. Now both recorders are digital computers recording digitally in large Flash Memories.
