he National Transportation Safety Commission (KNKT) head, Tatang Kurniadi, says that his institution has downloaded the recording from the voice cockpit recorder (CVR) of AirAsia flight QZ8501, which crashed into the Java Sea on Dec. 28 last year.
'We have successfully downloaded the pilots' dialogue from the CVR. The total CVR recording is two hours and four minutes,' Tatang said in Jakarta on Friday, as quoted by kontan.co.id.
'The investigators are currently transcribing the recording, while data from the [Airbus A320] plane's FDR [flight data recorder] is now being converted.'
He said that the KNKT investigation team was also preparing a preliminary report on the crash of the Surabaya'Singapore flight that would be sent to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
'The preliminary report consists of information and initial analysis of the crash, 30 days after the accident occurred,' he explained.
He emphasized that the intention of the investigation was not to blame any party but to improve the air transportation system. (nfo)(+++)
