The Aeronautical Accident Investigation and Prevention Center (Cenipa) released images of the two black boxes that were in the plane that crashed in Vinhedo, in the interior of São Paulo, last Friday (9). The material was released on Saturday afternoon (10).
The recorders were sent by the Brazilian Air Force and arrived in Brasília to be analyzed on Saturday morning (10). The flight boxes were found amid the wreckage in the early evening of the day of the incident.
The black boxes will be essential to unravel the reasons why the ATR 72-500 plummeted 4,000 meters in one minute. The black box stores the last data and voice records of the crew on board, as well as aircraft information such as speed, acceleration, weather conditions, altitude and power settings.
One part of the equipment is the cockpit voice recorder (CVR), which captures the last few hours of conversations between the crew and internal sounds of the aircraft. The other is the flight data recorder (FDR), which captures technical information about the path taken by the plane until it crashed.
Based on the information preserved in the material, the causes of the ATR crash can be clarified. The Voepass plane, formerly Passaredo, crashed in Vinhedo, in the interior of São Paulo, in the early afternoon of last Friday (9). The accident left 62 people dead, including 58 passengers and four crew members.
