A Boeing 787 Dreamliner’s flight data recorder (FDR) plays a crucial role in providing investigators with essential information on incidents such as the recent one on LATAM Airlines flight 800. The data saved in the FDR, which includes over a thousand parameters, can help determine the cause of accidents. The FDR, along with other technologies like cockpit voice recorders, help reconstruct events for analysis. Advanced data collection mechanisms are now standard in modern aircraft, aiding in detailed tracking and investigation processes.
