Submission + - iPods making their way into cockpits
Agentscott00 writes: "Apple's iPod has found its way into the cockpit and is about to become a flight data recorder (FDR), more commonly known as "black box."
Flight reports that light aircraft maker LoPresti Speed Merchants is adding the ability to use an iPod as a flight data recorder to its Fury piston aircraft.
The airplane will include an iPod dock connector, and will be able to send data to the iPod for storage.
Although it's not clear yet exactly what data will be recorded, typically that includes system monitoring information and data for post-flight analysis."
