Can a Flight Data Recorder be Placed in a Cloud?

Flight Data Recorders (Black Boxes) generate data that is collected on an embedded memory device. A well-known difficulty with these devices is that the embedded memory device runs out of space. The worry of getting into this problematical situation compels the software of the flight data recorder to operate in a watchful mode it constantly makes efforts to minimize the use of memory space; otherwise a larger flight data recorder will be needed; however a larger flight data recorder can be very problematic because flight data recorders have very rigorous requirements; therefore an enlargement is very expensive and costly. In this paper it is suggested to send the data to a remote cloud, so the flight data recorder memory device will be in actual fact unbounded. Keywords— IaaS, Flight Data Recorder, Data Compression.
