From the EgyptAir 990 NTSB accident brief:

p. 25: “The FDR installed on the accident airplane was a Sundstrand Data Corporation (now named Honeywell Aerospace Electronic Systems) Universal Flight Data Recorder…”

“Flight performance parameters recorded by the FDR included the following: pressure altitude; airspeed (computed); engine rpm; pitch; roll; heading; angle of attack; normal (vertical), longitudinal, and lateral acceleration (load factors); left and right elevator positions; left and right inboard and outboard aileron positions; left and right trailing edge flap positions; rudder position; and horizontal stabilizer position.”

“The FDR was not required to and did not record control wheel, control column, or spoiler positions nor did it record control wheel and column forces.”

“Although control column position was not recorded by the FDR, the Safety Board’s testing and evaluation of the 767 elevator system showed that any movement occurring at the control columns would have resulted in concurrent, identifiable movements of the elevators, which would have been recorded on the FDR.”
