Dear aviators,
Just wandering if anyone can shed some light on the issue of missing flight data recorders, and cockpit voice recorders. It has become a very common in Nigeria. Two perfect examples are B3 210, and the wings aviation B1900D.
It is, nevertheless, disappointing that the flight data recorder (FDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR) of the B1900D went missing. These devices are clearly marked, and are easily identified on Aircrafts.
Can someone shed some light, and stir us all in the right direction. Whats happening to these devices, as they are our only clues to discovering the cause of the crash, and possibly improving flight safety.
For example Egyptair Flight 990, B767 crashed over the atlantic, and FDR/CVR was recovered miles under the ocean floor, same as kenya airways B737-800 in Douala, cameroun.

Thank you Nigeria

Hey it's Nigerian Aviation, if you want to hide the shoddy maint carried out on the aircraft you cant let details of the FDR/CVR be analysed. For B3 I think we need to look somewhere in GRA in a back garden:=.
Really I think the problem is lack of descent search and rescue service nothing more sinister than that. Just take a chill pill even if they were found we will not be privvy to the findings anyway. Just keep safe and fly only what you are sure will bring you back down safe.:ok:

While you're looking for the missing boxes, keep an eye open for the missing accident investigation reports.

Most probably someone else needed a COMPULSORY fitted 406 ELT on his plane.......................................
