2 hours? What the fuck?
Well yeah, at one point that's all the technology could handle reasonably. And then it was just never updated.
Ridiculous it hasn't been updated
There's a lot of laws or regulations that end up this way because nobody is required to do any periodic review.
There's more than 30,000+ federal statutes alone. Not including agencies, standards boards, state laws, etc.
As great as that would be, I'm not sure it could be done. (Good use for ai? Read all the laws and spit out a list of obsolete laws or things that need review?)
The entire airline industry runs on antiquated tech.
Between new certifications being needed for everything, and an attitude of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, combined with the constant attempts to save money, airplanes are rarely updated.
Because if you crash you only need to review the immediate events leading up to a crash. 2 hours is generally plenty. If a plane is hijacked and then crashed, you don’t need 5 or 10 hours of voice to know what caused the crash.
The point of the CVR was to find out what went wrong or what errors happened leading up to a catastrophe, not what the pilots had for breakfast 5 flights prior.
Thats not really true at leat according to aircrash investigation shows. Crew can make mistakes hours earlier that might lead to a crash or accident later. Mess up something during preflight checks and that can be the issue during later stage. Flights are long.
But with modern datastorage prices there's really no excuse not to make it longer. With 15GB you can store 24 hours of extremely high quality audio.
