• General categories of crash for FDR

• First in which some form of aircraft or system, malfunction has
been the primary cause
• The second in which the crash has on operational cause
• Both

• Methods of recording for FDR

• Trace recording
• Electromagnetic recording
• Both
• Mandatory parameter specified in CAR for FDR relates to
• Time
• Pressure
• Magnetic heading
• ATA
• Mandatory requirement for aircraft to be equipped with FDR
• The acquisition of data which will prove valuable during
investigation into the cause of a crash
• The data which will prove unvaluable during investigation into the
cause of a crash
• Both
• Location of flight recorders
• Should be adequately protected
• As in (a) & located in an aircraft that the recording media will
survive in the event of a crash situation

• Motor used in recorder
• Permanent magnet DC type
• Constant frequency type
• As in a which is controlled by chronometric governer
mechanism
• ATA
• If an aircraft flown at a constant true airspeed of 200knots during
a climb from sea level to 40000ft, the machometer will indicate
• Decreasing mach no.
• Constant mach no.
• Increasing mach no.

• The flight data recorder must stop automatically
• After the aircraft is incapable of moving under its own power
• Before the aircraft is incapable of moving under its own power
• After landing

• Parameter being recorded on the FDR are obtained from sources
that are
• Not display to the flight crew
• Independent of information displayed to the flight crew
• Accurately co related with information displayed to the flight
crew
• Input from the audio system are recorded on the
• FDR
• CVR
• UCB
• The mandatory parameter required for an aircraft DFDR depend
on the
• Speed and weight of the aircraft
• Maximum weight of the aircraft
• Size of the aircraft and prevailing regulatory rules applied to that
aircraft
• The DFDR requires an electronic process such that
• Digitally coded data can be converted back(decorder) into its
analog form
• Digitally coded data can be converted back(encorder) into its
analog form
• Analog coded data can be converted back(decorder) into its
digital form
• In binary decimal coded decimal (BCD) format, each word
comprises
• 4 bits, used to represent the denary numbers 0 to 9
• 4 bits, used to represent the binary numbers 0 to 9
• 4 bits, used to represent the denary numbers 0 to 10
• The DFDR on large aircraft has to be able to retain the recorded
data for a minimum of the last
• 30 min of its operation
• 25 hrs of its operational
• 25 flights of its operation
• Lateral acceleration and radio altitude are typical parameter
recorded on the
• FDR
• CVR
• ULB
• The FDAU collects or acquires, a variety of
• Analogue signals and and convert them into a digital data
stream for the recorder
• Analogue signals and output for the recorder
• Digital signals and and convert them into a analogue data stream
for the recorder
• The flight data recorder most start to record data automatically
• After the aircraft is capable of moving under its own power
• After take off
• Prior to the aircraft being capable of moving under its own
power
• Alpha angle is
• Angle between chord line of the wing and direct of aircraft
heading
• Angle between chord line of the wing aircraft heading
