First Claim
1. Flight information recording method using a flight information recording device comprising a central display unit 30, a first television camera 20, a second television camera 21, and a video recorder 24, said method comprising:
- indicating displacements of connecting rods 55 between control devices 40, 41, 40a, 42 and control surfaces 10 manipulated by a pilot 8, and time data of the related information on said central display unit 30;
capturing a view of instrumental panel 9 including a displayed data on said central display unit 30 together with general pointer gauges and/or instruments by said first television camera 20 installed in a cockpit 6 as a first piece of image information 26;
capturing the actual state of a main wing 2 and that of a tail stabilizer 3, a vertical stabilizer 4, rudder 14 and elevations 13 which were reflected via mirrors 22, 23 installed on the middle of the upper fuselage to said second television camera 21 installed on a vertical stabilizer 4 facing the nose of the fuselage as a second piece of image information 27;
and synchronizing and combining said first and second image information as complex image information 28, and recording said complex image information on magnetic tape by said video recorder 24.

Abstract
Displacements of connecting rods (55) between control devices and control surfaces (10) manipulated by a pilot (8), a pulse data based on the normal pulse of the pilot (8), and time data of the related information are indicated on a central display unit (30) arranged on an instrument panel (9) together with various gauges; a view of instrument panel (9) including a displayed data on the central display unit (30) is captured by a first television camera (20) disposed in a cockpit (6) as a first piece of image information; the actual state of a main wing (2) and that of tail stabilizer (3) reflected on mirrors (22,23) installed on the middle part of the upper fuselage are captured by a second television camera (21) installed on a vertical stabilizer (4) facing the nose of the fuselage as a second piece of image information; and both pieces of image information from respective camera are synchronized and combined as complex image information and recorded on magnetic tape through a video recorder (24).
