PUTRAJAYA: The cockpit voice recorder (CVR) data of the aircraft that crashed onto the Guthrie Highway near Bandar Elmina in Shah Alam, Selangor, on Aug 17 has been extracted, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
He said the Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) finally managed to retrieve the data with the help of the CVR original equipment manufacturer (OEM) L3Harris at its laboratory in Florida, the United States.
“All the data was downloaded, including the last 30 minutes of voice recordings before the crash,” he told a media conference here today.
Loke said the audio recordings had been sent to the investigation team in Malaysia for analysis and a preliminary report was expected to be issued in two weeks’ time.
“The voice recordings of the two pilots will be analysed in the best way possible and all that transpired in the cockpit can become material for investigation to determine the cause of the tragedy,” he added. – BERNAMA
