  • Not being funny, but since we know that the earth is covered by two thirds of water and thus an aircraft is quite likely to crash into it, would it not be a good idea to make these black boxes float.

    These boxes may be indestructable but if you can't find them then there as good as useless.

  • All black boxes are arcane technology. All flight data can be up-linked simultaneously to satellites anywhere in the world at any time and then relayed to the flight headquarters. Its time all commercial aircraft have this capability and it is extremely economical compared to searching two miles down in the worlds oceans for the flight record.

  • I thought those boxes were recently found. That must be another aircraft

  • @telx2010 You should patent this idea of yours. Worth millions if it doesn't exist already.

  • Computers can and should have the capability of flying the aircraft with both pilots incapacitated. It does not make any sense that with all our technology, pilots can still fly an aircraft into the ground.

  • @dwetick that is exactly what an AirBus aircraft does: It actually sends data continuously when there are technical issues... as in the case of AF447. Still, voice recording is essential to determine what went wrong after the computers shut off, and why the pilots did not employ standard procedures to stabilize the AC. Pitch up, go to 80+% power. I guess after listening to experts, that the actual crash was the result of human error, not technical!

  • @27kaden No, official information hasnt been released yet.

  • @TheDevineBeing

    I see, Can't wait to see the full air crash investigation on this flight and may the souls on that flight rest in peace.

    thanks for the info TheDevineBeing
