There are cockpit voice recorders and those are a continuous...well, they used to be 30-minute loops, but now they're a bit longer. Some are longer.
Flight data recorders...but that's not what we're talking about. Cockpit voice recorders are completely protected under the Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board Act. If there is an accident, it's going to be protected under the CTAISB Act for the purpose of the accident. It's used for accident investigations, the main purpose. If everybody died, they would want to have records of the parameters of how the aircraft was flying, the altitude, the engine parameters, and all that.
However, people were very innovative in aviation and they realized that they could use this before there was an accident and take those parameters and monitor how our engines are performing, both from an economical standpoint and also from a safety standpoint, how our crew members are flying the aircraft, because they may be over-speeding the aircraft or doing things of that nature, so through those parameters they can monitor. They have more or less a readout, a picture, in numbers and IT, so they can see the performance and then correct, improve, or make some changes to their maintenance or their flight crew operations.
So that's what they're doing on their own, and they use this to advance safety. So now we're protecting them.
This is the same as the black box, yes. One part of one of those black boxes, yes.
