Photos of Recovered Air France 447 Flight Data Recorder
Key Takeaways:
- Searchers successfully recovered the flight data recorder (FDR) of Air France 447 from a depth of 12,800 feet in the Atlantic.
- The FDR is being transported to BEA headquarters in France, where investigators hope to extract vital information to determine the cause of the 2009 crash, though the recoverability of data after long submersion is unknown.
- The discovery of the FDR followed previous finds, including the aircraft's auxiliary power unit and the chassis of the flight data recorder, which helped guide searchers to the crash-survivable memory unit.
- This specific unit contains instrument information from the A330 but does not include voice recordings from the crew members.
