Flight 477 Black Box Finally Recovered

Published on May 19, 2011 by   ·   No Comments

Blackbox Flight Data Recorder - Air Franch 447 What happened to flight 447 is a big mystery though theories abound, from the simple and tragic thunderstorm encounter to pitot tube problems to some sort of failure from the fly-by-wire flight control system. What happens right now that the information has been recovered? It’s high-tech investigator work from the maximum order and involves some surprisingly pedestrian steps. Honeywell, the manufacturer that manufactured the digital flight data recorders in Air France 447, informed that this process of grabbing the data, once the recorders have been completely recovered, is really fairly simple.

The air crash investigators get successfully recovered all of the data from the two black box recorders that was lost along with Air France Flight 447 a couple of years ago. The recorders have been found last month and recovered a week ago through the wreckage of the Airbus A330 that crashed on the late night flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris when it flew through regions of convective activity over the Atlantic Ocean. Debris was spotted in the next day. It took almost 2 years, however, to uncover the debris on the sea floor.

It’s not uncommon, based on Honeywell, because there to be just partial data recovery on crashes with a excellent impact plus a fuel-fed fire. In the case of the Air France crash, however, such wasn’t the case. The affect, in accordance with the evidence located on the surface shortly after the disaster, suggest that the impact wasn’t tremendously high, and then there wasn’t any evidence of pre-impact fire.

In cases where after it is recovered, the card is undamaged, the data is simply saved to the PC, place onto the spreadsheet and read. It’s an excellent bet that investigators are poring above that data. Once equipped with the data, investigators from the airframer will be able to plug the data into a flight simulation unit watching the actual flight direction of the aircraft and the actions of the crew.
