Richard Swindell recently wrote a series of articles for Aero Crew News on searching for safety in the airline industry. Here's a recap of part 5: In the initial installment of this safety data-mining series, we talked about required safety and occurrence reports, then moved on to the nature and value of voluntary safety reporting programs. In this final installment, we are looking at flight recorders and the essential data they provide in the wake of an accident for understanding the event and making operational and regulatory changes in order to improve operational safety. The two types of recorders are the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and the Flight Data Recorder (FDR), and regulations heavily restrict their access and usage.
