Which of the following is not a reason for the growth in recorded parameters?
Magnetic tape became cheaper
Investigations found data was missing
Solid state storage removed the capacity limit
Aircraft systems became more complex
Answer: C
Correct answer: Magnetic tape became cheaper
Tape did not drive the growth; it constrained it. Capacity was limited and the transport mechanism was a survivability weakness, so parameter lists stayed short while tape was the medium.
The other three are the genuine drivers. Investigations repeatedly found that the parameter needed had not been recorded, aircraft systems grew more complex and generated more worth recording, and solid-state memory removed the capacity limit entirely - after which the constraint became the data frame layout rather than the storage.
