The data of the black box of Air India aircraft crashed on June 12 in Ahmedabad has been recovered. The government statement said on Thursday that the data has been downloaded. Access of memory module has also been received.

It is being investigated by Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB).
According to the central government, two black boxes (CVR and DFDR) sets have been found from the crash plane. These will get a record of pilots’ conversations and technical information of the aircraft at the time of the accident. The first set was recovered on 13 June and the second on 16 June.

Now know what is a black box, why is it important?
The black box is a small tool in the plane. It records technical and voice information about the aircraft during the flight. The black box consists of two main recorders. The Cockpit Voice Records (CVR) records the interaction of the pilots. At the same time, the flight data recover (FDR) records technical information of the aircraft such as speed, ultimate, engine performance.
Many things are said about the name ‘Black Box’. According to reports, its inner part was black, so it got the name. The second opinion is that after the accident, its color becomes black by burning the fire, so people started calling it a “black box”.
