AB  - Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study extensive enlargement and safety of flight data recorder memory.Design/methodology/approach The study involves the moving the memory of flight data recorders from an internal embedded device to a cloud.Findings The implementation has made the embedded memory device of flight data recorder effectively unlimited, and, hence, much more information can be stored.Research limitations/implications The possibility of a flight data recorder to be damaged or lost in a crash is not so high, but the implementation can be very helpful in cases such as aerial disappearances.Practical implications The implication is larger and protected memory for flight data recorders.Social implications Finding reasons for crashes is faster, and immediate actions can be taken to find remedy to the failures.Originality/value The use of internet and cellphones in airplanes is nothing special at present. It is suggested to take this technology for flight data recorders as well.
