fter recovering AirAsia flight QZ8501's flight data recorder (FDR) on Monday morning in the Karimata Strait of the Java Sea, the joint search and rescue (SAR) team is now looking for the cockpit voice recorder (CVR).
The National Search and Rescue Agency's (Basarnas) operational director, Air Commodore SB Supriyadi, said that the team detected the CVR around 20 kilometers away from where they located the FDR, Antara news agency reported on Monday.
Supriyadi said that three military diving teams have been deployed to the area, with each group consisting of between five and seven divers.
The FDR is currently on the naval vessel KRI Banda Aceh in the waters off Pangkalan Bun, Central Kalimantan. It will immediately be handed over to the National Transportation Safety Commission (KNKT) headquarters in Jakarta.
Both the FDR and the CVR are black boxes, crucial elements for every air crash investigation. (nfo)(++++)
