When the flight recorders were found, there was a concern that maybe the data would not be recovered. Today it looks as though everything has been recovered so they will start reviewing the data. This is good news for airline safety.
The French air accident investigation agency BEA said Monday that an international team downloaded the material from the "black box" voice and data recorders over the weekend.
"These downloads gathered all of the data from the Flight Data recorder, as well as the whole recording of the last two hours of the flight from the Cockpit Voice Recorder," the agency said in a statement.
The BEA says investigators will now analyze the material, which will take several weeks, and will release a new accident report during the summer.
