Search Continues for Sriwijaya Air CVR After Divers Find Detached Underwater Beacon
Accident investigators working on the crash of Sriwijaya Air Flight 182 retrieved the flight data recorder (FDR) of the Boeing 737-500 that lost contact with air traffic controllers shortly after taking off for a Jan. 9 flight from Jakarta to the island of Borneo with 62 passengers and flight crew onboard.
According to several updates about the investigation published by Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas), divers from the Indonesian Navy were able to retrieve the FDR using signals captured from its underwater beacons. The same divers that found the FDR also discovered a separate underwater beacon that was detached from the aircraft's cockpit voice recorder (CVR).
"Today's search and rescue plan remains focused on three objects," Basarnas said in a. Jan. 16 press release. The search for the victim's body parts became the next main destination for aircraft debris and the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR), which until now has not been found.
