    Black box were Solid State Drive before SSD were common, the advantages of no moving parts are simply too high.

        Yes, in the EU the minimum recording time was recently increased to 25h. It is not a tech limitation anymore. What is actually limiting are privacy concerns from misuse of the longer recording.

          What kind of privacy data would be on a black box recorder? Just banter between flight crew? They are in a work environment so the recorded conversations should be kept professional anyway, IMO.

        This is why we can’t have nice things.

        “I don’t understand the problem, therefore it must be simple and anyone not saying it’s simple is obviously wrong”

          Is it really a matter of how easy it is or how much it would cost to change it? I’m also talking about making a nicer/better version so I really don’t understand your can’t have nice things statement.
