Similarities QZ8501 AirAsia and Air France AF447

Black box store various data, including airspeed.

Five years ago, Air France flight AF 447 crashed in the Atlantic Ocean en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.

As AirAsia flight QZ 8501, a plane carrying 216 passengers and 12 crew that fateful without even giving mayday signal.

Search and rescue team also found some parts of the plane a few days after contact is lost. And similar to AirAsia flight QZ 8501, Air France is facing bad weather before it crashed.

Some similarity condition is experienced by both aircraft. However, how far the similarities it has to be examined through the black box, aka the black box.

There are two black boxes on a plane. The device is usually located near the tail so the chance to survive the collision is high enough.

One of the black box has a working microphone to record a variety of sounds from the cockpit. Not only the pilot and co-pilot voice conversations are recorded, but also a variety of important clues, such as engine noise, sound the alarm, even the sound of a chair that is shifted if the crew moves.

Other black box function to record thousands of data that gives an indication of the movement of aircraft, such as speed, height of the surface of the earth, strength, and so on.

Solutions mystery

Mystery why the plane crashed Air France AF 447 can be solved after a search team found the black box in the mountainous areas under water in the Atlantic Ocean, two years after the crash.

The plane crashed due triggered ice sheet that covered the thin cylinder plane. The cylinder is a tool to inform the pilot and co-pilot aircraft how fast it was going. Closed due to ice cover, they do not know the speed of the aircraft.

The next cause of the problem is the way they handle it. The pilot and co-pilot decided to slow down so that the air strike aircraft in the air and slid down.

It reflects how the pilot and copilot are not trained to handle such situations.

The point is, even though the analysis and speculation about the cause of the crash Air France AF 447 raised so many years, the answer to the mystery is still baffle many people, including experts.

Part of Air France flight AF 447 was found a few days after the plane lost contact on June 1, 2009.

The mystery of why the crash AirAsia QZ 8501 is like that. The answer will be there after the black box was found and analyzed.

With the strait Karimata that 'only' reach 30 to 50 feet rather than the Atlantic Ocean that reaches thousands of meters, the black box AirAsia QZ 8501 is very likely soon be found. Answers can be quickly obtained.

However, the question that has yet to be answered is, why the information from the black box of all aircraft in the world can not be distributed to the technicians on the ground directly? If it is possible, we could have the answers the mystery of the crash at this time.(BBC)
