The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) is a vital component of avionics, used to record audio from the cockpit of an aircraft. CVRs are designed to capture conversations between pilots, air traffic controllers, and other personnel, as well as any other sounds that may be relevant to an investigation. CVRs are typically installed in the tail section of an aircraft and are designed to withstand extreme temperatures, pressure, and impacts. CVRs are required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for all commercial aircraft, and are also used in military and private aircraft. The CVR market is highly competitive, with a variety of manufacturers offering different models and features. CVRs must meet stringent FAA requirements, and manufacturers must be certified by the FAA in order to produce CVRs for commercial aircraft. Some of the companies in the CVR market include L3Harris Technologies, Honeywell, Universal Avionics, Garmin, and Rockwell Collins. Show Less Read more
