Summary/Abstract: The article is a synthetic discussion of the possibility of using all available devices for sound, photo and other data recording, enabling their use in conducted preparatory proceedings related to an aviation accident or other aviation event. First of all there are used recordings from devices specially designed and installed on aircraft, such as flight data recorders, inflight recorders, voice recorders, sport flight recorders. They are used for this purpose. This group of devices should also include loggers and gps. In addition to professional devices that register important data that enable the acquisition of photos of the event, there may be used all types of cameras, photocameras and mobile phones as well as stationary monitoring cameras. A separate group of information sources are records of radar equipment of air traffic control units along with radio and telephone correspondence. All sources indicated here hould be protected for further investigation and evidence collection. The records recreated from them constitute a valuable source of information enabling the reconstruction of the course of the aircraft accident and mutual verification as well as the assessment of the reliability of other material evidence and correct inference.
