On Friday, a recorder of flight from the crashed Air India flight, which is expected to give a critical understanding of the cause of the aircraft crash that claimed the lives of 241 passengers and several people on Earth.
London-bound Boeing 787 crashed into the hostel of the Faculty of Medicine in the residential area of Gujarat’s Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff on Thursday, June 12. A digital flight recorder or black cabinets of the aircraft were obtained from a roof near the accident site and the Office for Investigation of Air accidents said its work with “full force.”

Meanwhile, Minister of Civil Aviation Ram Mohan Naida said in the X post that Black Box recovery represents a “important step forward in investigation”.
The flight recorder (black cabinet) was obtained by AAIB within 28 hours of the accident site in Ahmedabad. This means an important step forward in the investigation. This will greatly help interviewing the incident, he added Naida.
What is a black cabinet and what can it reveal?
The Black Aviation cabinet concerns two critical devices for recording flights on the aircraft: Recorder Data Recorder (FDR) and Voice Recorder (CVR).
Data data recorder – This device records important flight parameters such as speed, altitude, engine power, heading and flight control.
Cockpit – This records the cockpit sound, including conversations between pilots, alarms and surrounding sounds.

In examining the Ahmedabad accident, the black cabinet will play a key role in identifying whether the disaster has emerged from mechanical failure, engine failure, bird strike, on -board fire or human mistakes.
The black cabinet offers comprehensive information about the transfer of Mayday crew, all system -generated warnings and their efforts to regain control in critical seconds after take -off.
In addition, the device reveals information about engine and control, in addition to what the voice recorder turns out of the cockpit conversations, said Paul Fromme, a mechanical engineer with a British machine engineer institution in a statement, as stated by the Associated Press.
DGCA said its increased inspection will include checks of different systems and overview of Boeing 787 Dreamliner Air India aircraft in the TATA Group.
How do FDR and CVR work?
FDR and CVR devices always collect and store data during flight. The FDr is technical and performance metrics, while CVR records sounds inside the cockpit, according to reports. In the event of an accident, these stored data are obtained and analyzed to understand what is going mechanically and between the crew at times that led to the accident.

Investigators are likely to look at whether the wing flaps have been set correctly, whether the engine has lost energy, whether the alarms came out inside the cockpit and whether the aircraft crew correctly inserted information about hot temperature and fuel and passenger weight, Guzzetti said.
The black cabinet will offer comprehensive information about the transfer of the Mayday crew and in all generated warnings.
Data errors could lead to the wing flaps to be set incorrectly, he said.
