KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 22 — The cockpit voice recorder (CVR) of the aircraft that crashed onto the Guthrie Corridor Expressway near Bandar Elmina, Shah Alam, last Thursday will be sent to its manufacturer in Florida, United States, to retrieve the last 30 minutes of its audio data before the crash for analysis.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the CVR was initially sent for analysis at a laboratory in Singapore last Saturday but there were technical issues and limitations that prevented the retrieval of the audio recording.
“The Head of the Air Accident Investigation Bureau will return to Kuala Lumpur this afternoon and brief me, we will try as soon as possible, either later today or tomorrow morning, to send him with the device to Florida.
“To answer the question of what happened, we have to seek assistance from external parties, and my priority is to provide answers to the families of the victims and the public as quickly as possible.” Loke said at a press conference after the launch of the 2023 Malaysian Aviation Safety Seminar here today.
