New Delhi: The Centre on Thursday said the analysis of the data from Cockpit Voice Recorders (CVR) and Flight Data Recorders (FDR) — recovered from the crash site of Air India Boeing Dreamliner 787 aircraft in Ahmedabad — is currently underway in full compliance.
According to a statement from the Ministry of Civil Aviation, all actions so far related to Black Boxes have been taken in full compliance with domestic laws and international obligations in a time-bound manner.
Following the unfortunate accident involving Air India Flight AI-171 on June 12, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) promptly initiated an investigation and constituted a multi-disciplinary team on June 13, in line with prescribed norms.
The team, constituted as per international protocol, is led by Director General AAIB and includes an aviation medicine specialist, an ATC officer, and representatives from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which is the government investigative agency from the state of manufacture and design, (USA), as required for such investigations. Both the CVR and FDR were recovered — one from a rooftop of the building at the crash site on June 13 and the other from the debris on June 16. “Standard Operating Procedures were issued for their secure handling, storage, and transportation. The devices were kept under 24x7 police protection and CCTV surveillance in Ahmedabad,” said the ministry. (IANS)
