Air crash in South Korea: data retrieved from one of the flight recorders of the Jeju Air plane.

Data from one of the flight recorders of the Jeju Air aircraft that crashed last week has been retrieved. The other flight recorder will be sent for analysis to the United States (US).

This information was reported by RBK-Ukraine referencing Yonhap News Agency.

The flight recorder that is planned to be sent to the US for decoding sustained some external damage. The timeline for its dispatch is currently unknown and will be determined after consultations with the National Transportation Safety Board.

Meanwhile, South Korea has completed the data retrieval from the onboard flight recorder, which was found in relatively better condition. The data is now being converted into audio files.

It is noted that two additional investigators from the aircraft manufacturing company Boeing Co. have joined the investigation into the crash. The number of members on the American team has now increased to 10, including six from Boeing and three from the National Transportation Safety Board.
