In early April this year, the Minister of Civil Aviation of the Union of Ram Mohan Naida opened an advanced digital digital flight and a voice cockpit laboratory (DFDR & CVR) at the Bureau of Aviation Crews (AAIB) in Bhavana in the capital.
The volume, which is widely called the “black box”, was created with an investment in 9 rupees with the support of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (Hal) to create advanced DFDR and CVR laboratories and their equipment to analyze the data received from the aircraft.
However, the AAIB laboratory may require upgrading advanced technology, among the reports that the black box broken flight Air India is now sent to the National Transport Security Council (NTSB) for analysis.
The laboratory is reported to be unable to extract data from the records that caused such great damage.
Experts in the AAIB laboratory tried to obtain data, but require some advanced tools when the records are badly damaged, official sources said.
Initially, it was said that the modern object will allow AAIB to repair damaged black boxes, receive data and conduct careful tests of accidents and incidents. With the ability to correlate data from the voice voice recorder, radar and recorder, the laboratory had to increase the accuracy of the results of the investigation. The creation of this laboratory, built on international standards and comparable countries, has fulfilled the obligations of India as the ICAO -Member State.
As India’s aviation sector, in order to grow a faster pace, the presence of an advanced laboratory is important for determining the root causes of the incidents more efficiently and the accountability remaining the cornerstone of aviation safety.
The NTSB team will hold recorders in their laboratory under the protection and supervision of Indian officials to ensure that proper protocols are being executed. The data will then be distributed with AAIB. The Britain Investigation Department will also be present because 53 British citizens were among the dead passengers.
As the voice recorder was damaged, the chip will need to be obtained by removing the memory board to prevent further damage. The electronic scheme will also be assessed for damage.
