Dubai: A flight data recorder from the crashed flydubai passenger has been opened and authorities said records found to be of good quality.
"The flight data recorder has been opened and a damaged cable has been repaired," Sergei Zaiko, chief of the Interstate Aviation Committee, revealed to Russian news agency TASS.
"The memory module of the data recorder was tested and switched on. Data from it has been copied and its quality has been assessed as good," the news agency quoted Zaiko, who is heading the crash probe from the Russian side, as saying late Sunday.
Zaiko later told a Russian FM station that the black box was recording flight parameters until the very moment the Boeing 737-800 hit the ground.
Soon after the crash, investigators recovered the crashed plane's Flight Data Recorder and the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) known as Black Boxes. Aviation experts were of the opinion that since the flight records were severely damaged it is unlikely the cockpit voice and data recorders from the crashed jet will yield much information. Russia's airline regulator said it could take up to a month to decode the information.
