	Flight 93 black box under wraps
		Flight 427's crash was an accident, and thus was investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board, a small government agency whose procedures are fairly open.
		She said there had been a persistent rumor that one of the hijackers had gotten into the cockpit at the beginning of the flight by posing as a pilot and asking to sit in the jump seat behind the pilot and first officer.
		The flight data recorder keeps a running record of several aspects of a plane's flight, including altitude, airspeed and the craft's direction and pitch, all correlated with time measurements.

		Urban fl parents who care about their children's education are fleeing to charter and private schools, writes Samuel Freedman in the New York Times.
		So, despite their obvious problems as a public policy, vouchers will continue to be an easy argument for Republicans until Democrats forthrightly embrace ideas like public school choice and charter schools that help offer immediate relief to parents while addressing some of the shortcomings of vouchers.
		Eduwonk also links to articles on the "problem" of inner-city charter schools that aren't racially diverse: In Boston and Fort Wayne, Indiana, nearly all-fl schools serve the needs of their students.

	Black Box Recorder
		The first such recorder, called the "ARL Flight Memory Unit", was made in 1958 but were not made compulsory in Australian planes until 1967.
		The recording medium in the first flight recorder was steel wire, which stored the crew voice data and instrument readings such as airspeed, altitude, engine speed and engine temperature.
		Flight recorders proved to be an invaluable source of information for crash investigators.

	Issues & Views: Immigration and Black Americans
		One of the cruelest effects of high-level immigration to the U.S. is its worsening of the plight of fl Americans.
		During the Civil Rights era of the 1950s and 1960s, which was to have "freed" fl Americans socially and economically, Congress also changed immigration law to pave the way for close to a million immigrants a year--many of whom compete with fls for entry level positions.
		Black Americans are aware of immigration's impact and generally support immigration reform.

		Approximately one hour and 45 minutes into the flight, a problem was reported with the plane's stabilizer trim.
		In Flight 261, the FDR contained 48 parameters of flight data, and the CVR recorded a little more than 30 minutes of conversation and other audible cockpit noises.
		In this article, we will look at the two types of fl boxes, how they survive crashes, and how they are retrieved and analyzed.

		About eight seconds later, the flight "begins what appears to be a controlled descent" from 33,000 feet to about 19,000 feet, Hall said.
		The flight data recorder was designed to capture over 150 types of information from 55 aircraft systems during a rolling 25-hour period.

	History
		One of the greatest safety inventions for the commercial airline industry has been the crash protected flight recorder, more commonly called the “Black Box.” Today, flight recorders for accident investigation are mandatory pieces of equipment in civil aircraft.
		Flight recorders have changed in design and airline usefulness over the past 40 years.
		The initial requirement of these newly mandated data recorders was to record the actual flight conditions of the aircraft, i.e., heading, altitude, airspeed, vertical accelerations, and time.

	Pravda.RU:Tu-154's "black box" flight record deciphered
		The crew of the Tu-154 was ordered to drop to a lower altitude 50 seconds in advance and obeyed 25 seconds before the collision: such was the information deciphered from one of the jet's "fl boxes", reported Switzerland's Radio and TV Information Service.
		This information contradicts an earlier report from the air traffic control Skyguide, which said the crew of the Russian liner was warned by the air traffic controller 90 seconds before the tragedy.
		At the moment of the tragedy, according to Maag, the air traffic controller was in the flight control center all alone -- his workmate had taken a day off.

	Flight 77 Black Boxes - 9-11Review
		A damaged voice recorder and the charred flight data recorder from the hijacked have been sent to the FBI.
		FBI Director Robert Mueller said that the voice data recorder contained nothing useful, it would imply that there are no words of the hijackers on the tape, which would once again reinforce our feeling that there is no evidence of hijackers.
		Of course, as Flight 77 was not the plane involved in the Pentagon Attack, it's fl boxes would presumably show that, and the government would be very reluctant to allow the data to be examined, or allow the NTSB to carry out the investigation of the crash that is required by law.

	Investigators locate 'black box' from Flight 93; widen search area in Somerset crash
		Finding the flight data recorder had been the focus of investigators as they widened their search area today following the discoveries of more debris, including what appeared to be human remains, miles from the point of impact at a reclaimed coal mine.
		Cell phone calls from passengers have fueled the speculation about such a scenario, along with the fact that this was the only one of the four planes that crashed Tuesday that did not hit a populated, high-profile target.
		While some officials were reportedly pessimistic about the chances of finding the flight recorders intact, Crowley said there was no way to determine their conditions until they were located.

		Flight data recorders were first mandated in 1969, but the first generation of fl boxes, introduced in the 1950s, used metal styluses to etch the information from the plane on a piece of foil that scrolled past.
		And one of the side effects of the FAA mandating modern flight data recorders is that some airlines use their FDR data to improve airplane performance.
		The term "fl box" stems from the term used in World War II to describe electronics in general.
