Got this article in an AOPA email about black boxes being installed in
the Cirrus SR20 and SR22. Do you think that all flight schools should
have these type of black boxes installed in their aircrafts?



Consider the fact that without one, if you have an accident, you are
pretty much at the mercy of an "expert" who, potentially, couldn't find
his butt with both hands and a flashlight (at least that was the "accident
reconstructionist" from the state police that I had the misfortune of
dealing with)...

I wish cars had these.

When immigration is outlawed, only outlaws will immigrate.


Most cars built today do have a black box....the engine control unit.
Records speed, temp, engine RPM, MAP, transmission gear, and may include
airbag state, brake application and other sensors depending on make and
model. Post crash, the data can be used for or against you.
