Abstract

See full text

Common practice in the aviation industry is to place a single Flight Data Recorder (FDR) in an aircraft for the purpose of aiding an investigation of an aircraft accident or incident. In contrast, a system employing ‘an example’ embodiment of the invention uses multiple flight data recorders by having a primary node or first FDR, and one or more secondary nodes or one or more additional FDRs configured to store flight data. Each FDR is placed in a different location so as to ensure backup of the recorded and stored data. In this way, the invention system provides redundancy of information for an aircraft accident or incident and more reliable data storage.
