Searchers find FDR from crashed Atlas Air 767 freighter
The US NTSB announced March 3 that it has recovered the flight data recorder (FDR) from the Atlas Air Boeing 767-300 freighter that crashed in Trinity Bay, Texas, late last month. NTSB said the FDR—which searchers pulled from the muddy, shallow bay—was being transported to its laboratory in Washington DC for evaluation. On March 1, NTSB reported recovering the cockpit voice recorder (CVR). The two devices will help explain the aircraft’s and the pilots’ status before the freighter crashed Feb. 23 on approach to Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport while delivering packages for Amazon and other cargo. Two Atlas Air pilots and a Mesa Airlines pilot who occupied the jumpseat on the flight from Miami International Airport were killed.<br/>
