The cabin voice and flight data recorders of an Indonesian passenger plane recovered from the Majene Sea off West Sulawesi after an aircraft accident this year has been opened and can be read, local press said Wednesday.
National Air Transportation Safety Commission (KNKT) chairman Tatang Kurniadi has confirmed the black boxes, currently being investigated in the United States, could be read, reported English daily The Jakarta Post.
An Indonesian team, with the assistance of the Washington-based National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), managed to open and read the black box of the Adam Air aircraft, which crashed into the Majene Sea.
The aircraft went missing on its way from Surabaya to Manado on New Year's Day.
Those involved with the black box reading project include Indonesian Defense Attache Brig. Gen. Erwin Barley, Air Force Attache Col. Yuyu Sutisna, and representatives of the U.S. NTSB, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Australian Transportation Safety Bureau (ATSB) and Boeing.
