In its reply, the government said that the black box has been recovered and secured for a detailed analysis. All technical records, operational details, and facts from the accident site are under examination and will help establish the sequence of events and factors that led to the accident, it further said.
The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has launched a formal investigation into the plane crash, the civil aviation ministry said, adding that it will be carried out in a thorough, transparent and time-bound manner. “The ministry is also taking cognizance of your request to consider appropriate measures to prevent recurrence,” the ministry said.
Black Box is one of the most crucial parts of an aircraft which is considered one of the primary clues in cases of plane crashes. According to the World Aviation Flight Academy, it is a “device designed to capture and store important data during flight.”
