LD CRASH 2LST

The CVR and the DFDAU, which were retrieved from the
debris in a burnt condition, would be analysed by officers of
the DGCA's Air Safety Division. While the CVR captures radio
transmissions and sounds in the cockpit such as the pilots'
voices and engine noise, the DFDAU records all parameters of a
short-duration flight.
However, since the two crucial equipments are damaged,
efforts would be made to take the electronic chips of the CVR
and insert them in a serviceable unit in order to retrieve the
information contained in it, the sources said.
Analysis of CVR and DFDAU is expected to take at least
a fortnight, while the analysis of all records and documents
collected would take a couple of weeks, they said.
Four teams of investigators from engineering,
operations, ATC and aerodrome units, made several rounds of
inspection of the wreckage, the runway and the adjoining areas
of the accident site.
These teams have also collected a large number of
material for evidence through extensive search of the
aerodrome, runway and navigational facilities, the sources
said.
An official statement had Sunday said that though the CVR
was "affected by fire it is expected to yield the desired
information".
The teams have already taken over all records pertaining
to the aircraft and the air crew for investigations, the
sources added.
Meanwhile, police have kept 22 bodies in cold storage at
different hospitals in Mangalore.
Gopal B Hosur, IG (Western Range), told PTI that DNA
samples of these 22 bodies, as well as the claimants, have
been taken.
The DNA 'matching' reports are expected in three to five
days. PTI RS
