India has recently planned to send the black box to the US for analysis from the Air India plane accident, as the damage from the post-cross fire makes data extraction locally impossible. As a result of the accident, 241 are fatal and are being investigated by various agencies including NTSB, while India’s Air Accident Investigation Bureau has disputed disputed claims about the situation of the black box.
-India must have recently sent a black box recovered from the air India aircraft for analysis from the air India aircraft, local newspaper economic time said on Thursday that people are aware of development.
The ET report said, “The recorder maintained heavy external damage from the crash fire, making it impossible to extract data in India.”
However, India’s Director General of the Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation, GVG Yugandhar said in an email response from the Reuters that it was “factually wrong” without taking forward the report.
Air India refused to comment.
Indian officials are investigating the accident of an Air India Boeing Dreamliner, who killed 241 people on board and at least 30 land last week, marking the world’s worst aviation disaster in a decade.
The black box consists of two components – flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder. This crash provides significant insights for investigators, including height and aerpeed data and pilot conversion records that help determine the possible causes of crash.
The ET report, citing sources, said that the data from the flight data recorder will be extracted in the National Transport Safety Board’s laboratory in Washington and shared with AAIB. NTSB did not immediately respond to the request of a Reuters for comments.
The report said that the air accident investigation branch of the United Kingdom will also be present in the laboratory. The government agency did not immediately respond to the request of a Reuters for comments.
