Flight recorder, aircraft with flight recorder and method for reading out flight data from a flight recorder
First Claim
1. A flight recorder, comprising:
- a memory;
a control device, which is coupled to the memory and which is configured to record flight data during the flight of an aircraft and to store said flight data in the memory;
a transceiver device, which is coupled to the control device and which is configured to accept stored flight data signals from the control device and to convert them into acoustic signals; and
an acoustic transducer, which is coupled to the transceiver device and which is configured to emit the acoustic signals of the transceiver device into a body of water, the control device being configured to receive control signals via the transceiver device and, depending on the control signals, to retrieve partial data areas of the stored flight data from the memory and to transfer them to the transceiver device;
wherein the control device is configured to be operated in an energy-saving state until a control signal puts the control device into a normal operating state, the control device being configured to transfer flight data signals to the transceiver device only in the normal operating state.

9. A method for reading out flight data from a flight recorder, comprising:
-
recording flight data during the flight of the aircraft and storing the flight data in a memory of a flight recorder; receiving a control signal, which activates a control device of the flight recorder to output a selected partial data area of the stored flight data; outputting the selected partial data area of the stored flight data by the control device to a transceiver device as a flight data signal; converting the received flight data signals by the transceiver device into acoustic signals; and outputting the converted acoustic signals of the transceiver device into a body of water. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
