JP Troadec interview

At 10h41 LT 08H41z on French Radio "France Info"

quick transcript

The outside of the CVR is good
At the end of next week BEA will proceed to the opening of the "boxes". It should be quick except if corrosion is present. Reading may take some days or some weeks accordingly. CVR records the last two hours of flight. We now think that we will be able to understand reasons of the crash according of the precedent elements of the inquiry and the present recoveries.
We will try to recover some pieces but not the entire aircraft because it would be useless for the inquiry and it is very long, about 6 hours to go up and down again.
Parts that we will try to recover are on board calculators because of their own internal memory, engines and the cockpit. It will be difficult for the cockpit because there are a lot of debris around.
I won't speak about bodies recovery. It is not the BEA mision but the one of the French Navy.
