Meanwhile, air-safety investigators have discovered that the audio from QF32's cockpit voice recorder at the time of the engine failure has been lost. The safety bureau said the audio was overwritten because the recorder, which is on a continuous loop, taped the pilots for more than two hours after the engine blew.A bureau spokesman, Richard Batt, said the loss of the audio was not a significant issue.
Yeah right!
It was not a significant issue because the aircraft returned safely.
If it had crashed I'd bet he wouldn't be using those words.
Another question.
What will be come of the aircraft.
Is the the damage it sustained repairable as I have heard the front wing spar might of been damaged.
