The black boxes of Flight AI171 were recovered from the crash site in Ahmedabad on June 13 and 16. It was reported that the black boxes were damaged by a fire that broke out following the accident.
The Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) of the Air India AI171 flight were retrieved from the wreckage on June 13 and 16.
Indian news agency ANI recently confirmed that the black boxes of the ill-fated flight are still in India and currently under investigation. This update comes in response to earlier rumors suggesting the devices had already been sent abroad for analysis.
India’s Civil Aviation Minister K. Rammohan Naidu rejected those claims, clarifying that the black boxes have not been sent to the U.S. for analysis and remain in India.
What is a black box?
The term “black box” refers to two critical devices:
-
Flight Data Recorder (FDR)
-
Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR)
These devices are typically painted bright orange to aid in recovery.
The FDR records technical data such as altitude, speed, and engine performance, while the CVR captures cockpit conversations and sounds. Together, they provide crucial insights into the sequence of events that led to an accident.
