Cockpit Voice and Flight Data Recorder
Cockpit voice recorders (CVRs) and flight data recorder (FDRs) are devices that are installed in aircraft to record the environment in the flight deck for investigation of accidents and incidents. FDR preserves the recent history of a flight by recording multiple parameters, which are collected several times per second. CVR is used to record the recent history of the sounds in the cockpit, including the conversation of pilots.
