The government instituted an Aircraft Accident Investigation Board to look into the causes while the Airbus aircraft manufacturing company dispatched its own technical team to thoroughly investigate the causes. The decoding of the Black Box and the Cockpit Voice Recorder laid the blame squarely on the Cockpit Crew as well as negligence on the part of the Air Traffic Control. By 1958, Flight Recorders were adopted by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for use in all commercial aircraft. The Flight Recorder comprised a Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and a Flight Data Recorder (FDR). The Black Boxes are required to be painted bright orange or bright yellow, making them easier to locate at a crash site.
