Thanks for the report

I see that the FDR is an old vintage tape recorder. I forgot those still existed on that type of plane.

I suspect that the loss of data makes the investigation of the engines much more difficult, especially if there were no signs on either engine of a mechanical fault.

That leaves open the possibility that the engines might have both been shutdown at the same time under suspicion by the crew rather than trouble shoot one engine at a time.

Please keep us informed of any new information.
