Washington: The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has recovered both flight recorders from the American Airlines plane involved in a recent incident. These devices, often called “black boxes,” contain crucial data that will help investigators determine what happened.
Black Boxes Hold Key Evidence
The two recovered recorders include:
- Flight Data Recorder (FDR): This device stores key flight parameters such as speed, altitude, and engine performance.
- Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR): It captures audio from the cockpit, including pilot conversations and background sounds.
The NTSB confirmed that both recorders were successfully retrieved and are now being analyzed. This information is vital for understanding the sequence of events leading up to the incident.
Investigation Underway
Officials will now begin extracting data from the recorders. This process involves careful examination to determine if any mechanical issues, human errors, or external factors played a role.
According to aviation experts, black box data provides valuable insights that can help improve flight safety and prevent future accidents. The NTSB has assured the public that their investigation will be thorough and transparent.
American Airlines Responds
American Airlines has expressed full cooperation with authorities. The airline emphasized its commitment to passenger safety and stated that it will assist investigators in any way possible.
“We are working closely with the NTSB to understand what happened. The safety of our passengers and crew remains our top priority,” an airline spokesperson said.
What Happens Next?
The investigation may take weeks or even months, depending on the complexity of the findings. Once the data is fully analyzed, the NTSB will release an official report detailing the cause of the incident and recommending any necessary safety improvements.
For now, passengers and aviation experts await further updates as authorities continue their work.
