Flight data recorders, also known as "black boxes," are crucial in aviation accidents, helping to establish truth and liability. They record information about aircraft performance and pilot communications during flights, allowing investigators to identify anomalous behavior during and after flights. This data helps identify the cause and assign blame following accidents.

Flight data recorders continuously collect various parameters, such as altitude, engine performance, and navigational data, that aid investigators in reconstructing flights' final moments as well as uncover any anomalies, deviations from standard operating procedures, or discrepancies with standard procedures. When an accident happens, these records become invaluable as investigators look for causes; such information might reveal mechanical failures, departure from flight plans, or issues within systems as well as whether technical failures led to them or external forces were to blame for what led them down this path.

CVR recordings record audio in the cockpit, such as conversations between crew and air traffic control as well as alarms or sounds within. They provide context to FDR data by showing decisions made, communication issues that arose, or things misunderstood; ultimately they provide vital clues into understanding who may be held liable and can even prove critical when legal cases ensue.

Courtroom trials often use data retrieved from cockpit voice and flight data recorders as evidence against negligence claims or to determine their causes, such as whether pilot error, mechanical failure, or external factors like weather conditions and instructions from air traffic control led to the incident. Such analyses provide vital clues.

Flight data recorders have become an essential tool in court cases to address regulatory compliance and safety. Information gained through investigation may lead to legal actions against parties responsible for maintaining aircraft by aviation regulations or for violating safety protocols, and could even result in changes to aviation industry regulations themselves. Furthermore, flight recorders provide invaluable evidence that may lead to improvements in standards or practices and ultimately result in changes to industry legislation.

Flight data recorders play an indispensable part in legal investigations of plane accidents, providing essential evidence needed to reconstruct what led up to and caused an incident and identify its cause. Furthermore, flight data recorders contribute significantly towards improving aviation industry safety standards as well as individual legal cases. Additionally, they play a part in improving accountability by offering detailed accounts of flight performance and crew interactions that provide essential insights.
