Air Algerie loses contact with its plane leaving Ouagadougou

[Kbboca]

Flight data successfully extracted

From one of the lastest articles in the French Press, it sounds as if the investigators have been successful in recovering flight data from the FDR. Analysis of the CVR (which I read elsewhere was much more heavily damaged) is continuing...

Lundi en fin de journée, le BEA a fait savoir que les paramètres du vol AH5017 d'Air Algérie (vitesse, altitude, trajectoire, etc.) ont été extraits de la boîte noire, mais la récupération des conversations dans le cockpit contenues dans la seconde boîte noire était toujours en cours.
