Flight recorders come with two separate components: a data recorder and a voice recorder.

The data recorder is located at the tail of the aircraft.

The voice recorder is placed inside the cockpit to record the pilots' conversation.

In the event of an aircraft accident, the flight recorders provide key information that can determine the cause of an accident.

This limitation could become problematic in cases where the recorders are damaged or cannot be recovered.

Several initiatives are now looking at innovations that allow real-time data transmission from the flight recorders.

"The technology is there now; it's just a question of implementation," Esser said.
