Swedish Accident Investigation Board: Hope for good information about the crash – New Technology

It can go quickly to get important data from the black box found in the French Alps. It says Peter Swaffer, the Swedish Accident Investigation Board.

French TV shows now pictures of the crashed Airbus -planets black box – which is actually orange.

There is evidently a so-called CVR Cockpit Voice Recorder, which records audio , voices and conversations in the cockpit. It took place last night in Paris from the crash site in the Alps in the south of France, and the French Accident Investigation Commission BEA reported to have rapidly begun working on it.

– I’ve seen worse demolished components, they can be much more damaged and also burnt. So I do think that it should be possible to get good information, says Peter Swaffer, chief investigator at the Swedish Accident Investigation Board.

– It can go away and be pretty quick to get good guidance on the sound recording and events. But it can also take time, perhaps up to a week, he explains.

The device retains the last 30 minutes of recording before electrical power board the plane is broken. Particularly important to analyze becomes Germanwings-plane last eight minutrar when it fell down from the cruising altitude 11,000 feet and crashed against the rock.

Not only Swedish accident investigators are following developments after the fatal plane crash yesterday. On the Transport Agency is working Gunnar Ljungberg as head of a department who work with including air safety issues. He describes what is happening now.

– There is a well-established system to take care of this kind of dramatic events. Accident authorities, manufacturers and supervisory authorities are working frantically right now.

In addition to trying to read the information in the black boxes, investigators are interviewing traffic management and examines radar images.

Gunnar Ljungberg describes that, of course, as soon as possible want to find the reason or an indication of what may have happened .

If you go back other similar events when the same type of plane lost altitude?

– Yes, the one with the best information, the manufacturer, in this case Airbus, which has the responsibility to provide themselves with information and companies are also required to report to the aircraft manufacturer and the authorities. If it should turn out that there are serious technical errors behind, the EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency), which gives Airbus permits for the design, limit the use of aircraft model.

If it should turn out that there are serious technical errors behind, can the Agency, which gives Airbus permits for the design, limit the use of aircraft model.

– Biggest knowledge lies at Airbus who feel aircraft the best, says Gunnar Ljungberg.

In the afternoon, reports that although the second black box found. But not the memory card. If they end up under water, they can send out signals, but not when the crash occurs on land.

But it is discussed to give the drawers equipment so that they can send the recorded information in real time via satellite to the servers.

– It is not inconceivable that some data could be shared in real time via satellite. The question is at the ICAO level right now, says Gunnar Ljungberg. ICAO, the International Civil Aviation Organization.
