Investigators begin work on EgyptAir data recorders
Investigators have begun processing the cockpit voice and flight data recorders (CVRs and FDRs) recovered from the EgyptAir Airbus A320, which crashed into the Mediterranean Sea in May. The investigation committee started inspecting parts from the CVR and FDR June 18. The memory units from both devices have been removed and have undergone an 8-hour drying process. “Electrical tests of memory units of the recorders are in progress, which will be followed by the data unloading phase,” the Egyptian investigation committee said June 19. Data analysis could take several weeks and, depending on the state of the devices, they may need to be sent away for repair. DOS said the depth of the wreckage area is 3,000 meters. Its remotely operated search device is able to dive up to 6,000 meters. <br/>
