www.Primo.com: Did you know Black Box aircraft.

When the plane crash occurred most sought after tool is a black box or black box to record conversations duty aircraft between pilots and air traffic or air traffic control (ATC) as well as to determine the air pressure and weather conditions during flight. The sophisticated instrument called a black box, but the box is not actually black but orange or orange. It is intended to facilitate the search when the plane crashed.

Function and history of the black box.

History of Black Box.

David Warren in 1953 was a scientist Aeronautical Research Laboratory (ARL) in Australia, initiated the creation of a recording device conversation between the pilot and the crew during the flight. It is inspired when a jetliner crashed in India and can not know the cause. In 1957, David Warren completed a prototype

of such a device, named ARL Flight Memory. These devices are capable of recording data conversations between the pilot and crew for 4 hours. But unfortunately, the Australians had no interest in order to develop these tools. So that in 1958 the Secretary of the United Kingdom Air Registration Board was interested in a prototype machine that was invented by David Warren.

Warren and his team was asked by the British to bring such tools to be developed in the UK. The tool is enhanced by wrapping box named CSMU (Crash Survivable Memory Unit). The box of thin aluminum plates, silica and stainless steel to withstand a variety of extreme circumstances. The tool is finally sold to many countries for aircraft equipment, so that in 1960 the country Australia is the first country to implement that all aircraft must have the Black Box.

Another term Aircraft Black Box.

Red Egg.

The term black box appears when after a meeting on the first commercial flight recorder, called "Red Egg". The black box is a term that is more humorous and almost never used in the aviation safety industry. These recorders are generally not black, but usually bright orange because it is intended to be easily searched and found after an incident occurs.

Box-of-tricks.

Alternative origin for this term is of terminology RAF during World War II. During the period of the new electronic innovations in 1940-1945, objects such as the Oboe, and H2S GEE usually mounted on aircraft bombers routinely. This tool was apparently covered with artificial iron boxes and painted black to prevent reflection. After some time, electronic items "new" anything called a "box of tricks" (box-of-tricks) or "black box" (black box). This expression extends to the future of civil aviation after the war and eventually general use.

Black Box usability.

In an airplane there are 2 Black Box is taken and each has a different function, the Black Box is the first so-called CVR or cockpit voice recorder function to record all conversations conducted either by the pilot in the cockpit by co-pilot and the ATC airports , This box can usually reveal the cause of the accident which occurred on airplanes because if the plane was in error, the pilot and co-pilot will always communicate well between them and with ATC.

Black Box are both called FDR or the Flight Data Recorder, FDR recorded various parameters associated with the operation and characteristics of the aircraft such as data from a number of sensors to monitor information such as acceleration, speed, altitude, position of the cockpit controls, thermometers, gauges engines, fuel flow , the surface of the set position, autopilot status, switch position, and various other parameters. Most parameters are recorded several times per second, but some FDR can record bursts of data at a higher frequency when the input is changing rapidly. Black Box itself is located at the tail plane with forecasts in the event of an accident it is this part that is relatively intact and not destroyed.

Data read Black Box Black Box aircraft.

To be analyzed, the data and the FDR and CVR read using special equipment and software. In the United States, this is done in the laboratory of the national transportation safety agencies (National Transportation Safety Board / NTSB), which gained the Read Out System and Software and creator of the Black Box. This process can take up weekly or even months. Results of analysis and Black Box is not the only source to be able to deduce the cause of an accident. Investigators in Indonesia are carried out by the National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC) must combine and synchronize with a variety of other findings can deduce fully and comprehensively Agency Aviation Authority of the United States,

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that commercial aircraft to record at least 11 to 29 parameters, depending on the size of the aircraft which then this rule updated on July 17, 1997. The plane is made after the date of August 19, 2002 are required to have the Black Box to record at least 88 parameters , All large-bodied commercial aircraft and smaller commercial aircraft or owned corporations (companies), as well as private aircraft are required by law to carry one or both of these boxes.

Strength endurance Black Box

Black Box itself is also resistant to high temperatures up to 1100 C. Crash Survivable Memory Unit (CSMU) contains a memory board surrounded by thermal insulation and steel armor that can withstand the impact of a plane crash a thousand times the force of gravity and remain at sea at a depth of 14000-20000 feet (4,270 m-6096 m). In addition, to facilitate the search for the position (particularly underwater search) or aircraft black box, equipped underwater locator beacon that works is constantly emits ultrasonic recorder and signals can reach the surface from a depth of 14,000 ft. Modern design black boxes arranged by a group called the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

Very many uses of the black box of the most sought after when a plane crashed to reveal the incident. Thank you for reading this article.
