FDR's

Re data recorders.
All valid points, but it has taken a long time to get to what is not the final report.
I suspect the AAIB have had their work cut out on this crash.

The new electronic versions mentioned in the news piece have simpler solid state equipment which is lighter and cheaper to operate Similar to the MH370 data bursts.

Maybe it should be something along the lines of HUMS.

My point is the length of time taken to reach what is not a final conclusion.
If a FDR had been fitted it should have allowed the a/c maker to look at the problem area if it was something apart from the fuel gauges.

Have the police been told what the problem was or are the makers surmising what they think happened............
