SAO PAULO: Authorities investigating the crash of a Brazilian airliner that killed all 62 people on board last week now have the full transcript of the “black box” but its contents did not immediately explain the cause of the accident, a local television station said. Globe he said on Wednesday.
The cockpit voice recorder transcript indicates that the pilot and copilot noticed a pronounced loss of altitude approximately one minute before the accident. Globo TV reported Wednesday, citing anonymous people working on the investigation.
Globo TV He did not publish the audio or the transcript.
The transcript covers approximately two hours of audio recording, Globo TV he said, including the co-pilot asking the pilot what was going on and saying the plane needed “more power” to stabilize.
Brazil's aviation accident investigation center, Cenipa, said in a statement late Wednesday that it “guarantees” that no publication had access to the audio, transcript or data from the voice recorder. It did not comment on the content of the recording. Globo TV report.
The plane, an ATR-72 turboprop of local airline Voepass, was heading to Sao Paulo from Cascavel in the southern state of Parana and crashed at around 1:30 p.m. (1630 GMT) in the town of Vinhedo, some 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of Sao Paulo.
The accident killed everyone on board, but no one on the ground was injured.
A video shared on social media after the crash showed the ATR-72 plane spinning out of control as it plunged behind a cluster of trees near homes, sending a large plume of black smoke into the air.
The pilots reported no emergency or adverse weather conditions, the Brazilian Air Force said Friday.
Globo TV He said that according to those investigating the accident, audio analysis alone was unlikely to help determine the cause of the crash.
Authorities did not identify any distinctive sounds such as fire, electrical failure or engine failure, TV Globo reported, although the audio was said to be difficult to hear because of the noise of the engines near the cockpit.
Authorities have neither ruled out nor confirmed that a possible problem with icing on the plane's wing contributed to the crash. Globo TV saying.
Videos of the crash analyzed by aviation experts led some to speculate that ice had built up on the plane.
