Abstract

Flight Data Recorder (FDR) an aircraft  component mounted on board, registers and records all 

different operations and conditions of aircraft during  flight. Video animation and reconstruction of the flight  

progress can then be visualized by investigators to show  the last moments before the accident happened after

data retrieval from FDR.  

There might be difficulties in some cases where it is  hard to rescue FDR from accident scene, or if found,  data cannot be retrieved due to exposure to extreme  heat. Thus, an alternative source of data is highly  crucial; therefore cloud computing technology linkage  to aircraft systems in the Real Time for data network  environment to maintain continuous flow of data and  safety has been stressed upon. 

This research examined how concerned stakeholders in  the global aviation industry can improve significantly  on aviation safety by linking and saving the aircraft’s  data communications to cloud computing on the ground  to facilitate the tracking and monitoring of aircrafts in  real time, in case the aircraft crashes and loses or  suffers damages on its black box component.
