Flight and voice data from the Embraer E190 that crashed in Kazakhstan have been recovered – Air Data News

The work to recover flight and voice data from the two black boxes of the Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer E190 jet that crashed in Kazakhstan on December 25 was completed on January 4, the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) reported on Monday.

The data and voice recorders of the aircraft, registration 4K-AZ65, were recovered by CENIPA, which is responsible for investigating air accidents in Brazil.

According to the FAB, all data was sent to the authority investigating the crash in Kazakhstan with the support of other entities.

The report that will contain the conclusions of the investigation has no deadline for release, but the Azerbaijani government stated that the aircraft, which was on flight J28243 between Baku and Grozny, was hit by Russian air defenses in Chechnya.

Russian President Vladimir Putin apologized to Azerbaijan, but without admitting guilt in the case.

There were 67 people on board the E190 jet, manufactured in 2013, and 29 of them managed to survive the crash in an area near Aktau airport, in Kazakhstan.

The two pilots who died in the crash appear to have tried to control the jet after losing the actuators, but were unable to avoid a violent impact with the ground.

It was the third crash of a jet from Embraer’s E-Jet family in more than 20 years in service. The other two cases involved crew error on a flight from China and an intentional act in an accident in Africa.
