Sad news... going to make my planned grocery shop at Sainsbury's tonight interesting as that's next to it. Hope there aren't any fatalities other than the pilot (not that I hope he died but that nobody else did).

CVR - Cockpit Voice Recorder (records audio only)
FDR - Flight Data Recorder (records Parameters such as pitch, roll, altitude etc)
Combi - records both
Another type is coming which will do all the above plus image recording.
Anyway...suffice to say an AW109 is not "required" to have a recorder fitted but Agusta did make the decision to fit recorders wherever possible as a matter of course. The 109 was one of the borderline cases.Comment

Here is the news....
The image recording reminds me of an air accident of a Russian airliner where they let a teenager fly the plane only to crash it killing all aboard.
The images can be very useful but hope they don't become public in future for TV documentaries.2014 dives: 13
