Investigators decipher Flydubai 737 recorders, radar
US NTSB and Boeing investigators have joined a Russian and United Arab Emirates team at the Rostov-on-Don Airport to establish what caused Flydubai flight 981, a Boeing 737-800, to crash after a second attempt at landing on Runway 22 in the early morning hours of March 19 in low clouds and heavy winds. A small debris field—and at least one surveillance video—made clear the result of a steep descent into the ground. According to updates by the Russian Interstate Aviation Committee, investigators have “begun deciphering and analysing” information from the badly damaged flight data recorder, and as of March 20, were attempting to retrieve data from the cockpit voice recorder. The team is also reviewing radar data, crew dispatcher information and weather conditions. <br/>
