Mi17V5 military helicopter crashes in Coonoor, Nilgiris The black box is considered an important part of the investigation because it records the activities and conversations of the pilots before the crash. A team of 60 people from the Army Center in Delhi and Wellington have been searching for the first black box since yesterday (08/12/2021).
In this case, the black box of the crashed helicopter was found today (09/12/2021) at 10.00 am at Nachappurasathram in Vampire area. The army team recovered it and handed it over to the concerned authorities. It will be sent to a laboratory in Delhi or Bangalore and the information in it will be retrieved.
In case of plane crashes, the black boxes called ‘Block Box’ are very helpful in finding the cause! What is a ‘Block Box’? Let’s see in detail how important its functions are!
The ‘Black Box’, also known as the ‘Block Box’, was invented to record aircraft activity. What did the pilots say before the crash if the planes crashed, and what happened at the last moment? All such details will be reported in the black box. That is why the black box is considered important during a plane crash investigation.
There are two types of tools for recording information on a plane. One is the Flight Data Recorder called ‘FDR’. It will store data, including flight altitude, speed, and astronomical events. ‘FDR’ is capable of recording information for 17 to 25 hours.
The other is the ‘Cockpit Voice Recorder’ called ‘CVR’. It will record for two hours the conversations that take place between the pilots on the plane and the sounds that are heard in the cockpit. The two devices are connected together and mounted on the rear of the aircraft. The black boxes have been chosen because of the less damage to the sword area when accidents occur.
Even if it is called a black box, it will not be black. Not even in a box-like setting. The black box is bright orange, easily recognizable. The black box will not be damaged even if it falls to the ground at a speed of 300 km / h. Even if it burns at 1,000 degrees Celsius and sinks below 20,000 feet in seawater, the black box will not be affected.
Will continue to send ultrasonic signals for up to 30 days after the disappearance. By the way, it is said that the chances of finding it anywhere are very high. The information collected in the black box created by such sophisticated technologies plays an important role in aircraft crash investigations.
