Despite it's name, the term "black box" has become the common reference for not only one, but usually two pieces of electronic recording devices in modern aircraft. They record both flight data and the pilot's radio communications between each other (pilot/co-pilot) and ATC frequencies.

The colour of any such recording device is international orange, due to the extreme need for visibility when locating it after an aircraft accident, for example a high impact crash.
