The invention is that of a flight data recorder with significant reduction in size, weight and power making it suitable for use with most unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). A flight data recorder of the present invention may be mounted to a UAS or stored in a payload bay or compartment therein. It is an object of the invention to enable programming aircraft flights and recording flight data when autopilot fails, dramatically improving data collection and the ability to determine flight limits and detect problems. An FDR according to the present invention comprises onboard hardware and software systems enabling the programmable collection, storage and processing of flight data along with a means of transferring data to other devices for use. It is an object of the invention to enable wireless data transmissions while maintaining the ability to disable wireless transceivers during flight to prevent interference with flight management signals.
