Chris;
The SESMA program is excellent from what I know about it. Understand the download process.
I'm led to believe that the QAR is an optical disc rather than a PCMCIA card. Either way, I have doubts about survival/readability of the medium but we won't know until the unit is located and recovered. That may be a priority after the SSCVR is located and recovered and both sent to France, (I wonder if they'll send them on separate aircraft?).
