1. A wireless flight recordation system for collecting black-box data of an aerial platform comprising one or more sensors, a black box for collecting black-box data comprising one or more flight recorders, and one or more black-box cables which provide data feed to the one or more flight recorders from the one or more sensors, the wireless flight recordation system comprising:
one or more black-box data collectors comprising one or more black-box data sniffers configured to sense signals which are communicated through said one or more black-box cables, from outside said one or more black-box cables, thereby indirectly receiving said black-box data from the one or more sensors, without interfering with the cable or the signals communicated therethrough; and
at least one data transmission interface connectable to the one or more black-box data collectors configured and operable for:
establishing a wireless communication link with a wireless data communication network capable of providing data communication services to said aerial platform during flight, and
transmitting said black-box data or at least a parts thereof, via said wireless data communication network to a remote receiver which is remote from the aerial platform.
