With all the talk of AirAsia and black boxes this week, we though it would be interesting to take a look at a place where black boxes are listened to, a black box investigation centre. What do investigators listen for? Who has access to these recordings? Watch the video to find out!

Try to answer the following questions about the video and come back on Monday for the answers.

Suggested ICAO level for video: 5+
