Crash prevention recorder (CPR)/video-flight data recorder (V-FDR)/cockpit-cabin voice recorder for light aircraft with an add-on option for large commercial jets
First Claim
1. A method or process of integrating previously defined and used, prior art, system components including an electronic rear view mirror component, a video camera component, a video local area network component, a crash prevention recorder component with means of audio/video recording and flight data recording of data for later retrieval through the steps of:
- a) capturing of audio/video images by the video camera, b) capturing of digital flight data to be inserted into the audio/video data stream to create audio/video/flight data, c) merging and sequencing of frames by the frame merger and sequencer unit with human judgement and selection as to which of many views are selectable for video display and video recording with use of selective merging mode to merge selected views and selective sequencing mode to sequence selected views with audio/video recording of all pilot selected displays, d) transferring of data by the video local area network component, e) displaying of video data by the electronic rear view mirror component, f) playing of audio data by the speakers on the electronic rear view mirror component, g) storing of audio/video/flight data by the crash prevention recorder component.

30. A method or process of using a crash prevention recorder component having the processes of:
-
a) modeling by computer of electronic motion sensors and transducers used to detect crash conditions for ejection, slow water immersion, end of parachute fall, water landings and upside-down landings, b) ejecting of float package or child sub-component which contains the recording medium from the mother sub-component by the crash prevention recorder component such as through example means of solid rocket propellant, air foil, or pneumatic push, c) deploying of parachutes on the float package by the crash prevention recorder component, d) deploying of float on the float package by the crash prevention recorder component, e) releasing of parachute on the float package by the crash prevention recorder component, f) reading of electronic motion sensor for water landings and upside-down landings, g) deploying of ballast only in water landings and upside-down landings to reduce rocking and to right a child sub-component of crash prevention recorder component which is capsized by large ocean waves, h) deploying of satellite navigation antenna by the crash prevention recorder component, i) receiving of radio frequency signals by the satellite navigation receiver in the crash prevention recorder component, j) deploying of radio location antenna by the crash prevention recorder component, k) transmitting of radio location beacon signals by the crash prevention recorder component. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
