Smile CVFDR's.....

Thanks for the info......Sim, reference the CVFDR's I believe that their dimensions are similar to a VDR & to the best of my knowledge only one is carried, although I understand that they only record the last 30 mins of conversation & I assume that this is the same for the aircraft flight system data (?).
I cited the Green Lily incident as an example purely because it was an example of where a CVFDR has been used in an incident involving a SAR helicopter & concur that in respect to any incident remote from the helicopter the only benefit it offers is the crew narrative.........Thanks
