andrekik : They would know ac's last position....
Unless the Aircraft has ADS, in which case the position is sent periodically anyway, the aircraft's actual GPS position appears not to be one of the required parameters for the FDR.

They would have details of lots of other things though, like probably what happened and when.

Unless the data link was switched off, of course, or failed before anything else untoward happened.
