News India Live, Digital Desk: Mangaluru Air India accident: The investigation of the horrific Air India Express aircraft accident in Mangaluru in 2010 has achieved a major success after 14 years. 158 people were killed in this accident. Now the entire ‘raw’ data from the aircraft’s important flight data recorder, called ‘Black Box’, has been successfully taken out. This data will play an important role in understanding the causes of the accident. Why was it difficult to extract data from the damaged black box? After the accident, the aircraft’s ‘black box’ i.e. Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) was severely damaged. The data storage unit of a normal black box (DFDR) is different from its flight data unit. In this case, the black box unit was fine, but the unit that stored the data was badly spoiled, which seemed impossible to remove the data. The amazing technique of American technology ‘Golden Chassis’: Indian investigators were looking for a solution to this difficulty for a long time. Eventually, the US National Transport Safety Board (NTSB) provided its own special technique called ‘Golden Chassis’. With the help of this state-of-the-art equipment, the team of Indian and American experts in DFDR lab in Delhi of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) together successfully extracted 49 hours of raw data from the damaged black box. And all other technical parameters. This data is the most important evidence in investigating any plane crash. Now what will happen next? Now this recovered data will be closely analyzed. Investigating officers will match the data with a record of the aircraft’s cockpit voice recorder (CVR), air traffic control (ATC) recording, and maintenance of the aircraft. The exact cause of the accident will be ascertained by combining all these information. This is a complex process in which experts work closely. Sadly History of Hadse: This terrible accident occurred in Mangaluru on 22 May 2010, when the Air India Express aircraft (Boeing 737-800) coming from Dubai slipped from the runway during the landing. Out of 166 people aboard the aircraft in this painful accident, only eight passengers and crew members lost their lives, only eight people survived. The officials hoped that this important data will help to understand the exact causes of the accident, so that the final report will be prepared. This report will provide important lessons to prevent such incidents in future, and can also provide justice and mental peace to the victim families.
