Use of Incident Recorder Data in Accident Investigation
•These are NOT Flight Data Recorders but,
-The data can be very helpful in backing up FDR and CVR data.
-Can be especially helpful if FDR data is not recoverable, wasn’t working, or the aircraft wasn’t equipped with one.
•Units are not hardened and designed for impact and fire protection like an FDR or CVR.
•Units are installed on some aircraft not required to have an FDR.
•Does not record Date & Time.
-Data is presented based on time from the end of the data (i.e. impact or loss of power to the DEEC or FADEC)
