Announced Advances in Air Accident Investigation in Havana
Officers of the Institute of Civil Aeronautics of Cuba (IACC) reported today that it has been recovered almost all the information of the black boxes of the Boeing 737-200 crashed in Havana on 18 May last.
According to the president of that entity, Armando Daniel López, they have been able to decipher between 90 and 95 percent of the content of the black box that captures the voices and other sounds in the cabin of the aircraft.
Meanwhile, it was possible to clarify one
hundred percent of the data in the box responsible for keeping the technical parameters of the aircraft, highlights a report by the National Television News.
Daniel Lopez pointed out that the strong impact and the fire of the aircraft did not damage these devices, and that now the details of the flight are analyzed, second by second, in order to determine with exactitude the causes of the accident.
The International Civil Aeronautics Organization establishes a period of up to one year for the termination of this type of investigation.
Specialists of the IACC informed the press in June that the aircraft had the certifications established by the International Civil Aviation Organization, issued by the Mexican Aeronautical Authority, a country that, like Cuba, is a member of that entity.
At that time it was also learned that the documentary examination of the company had not revealed any irregularities so far, and that the Mexican Aviation Authority certified it, and its documentation was in force.
The Boeing 737-200 bound for Holguín crashed a few minutes after taking off from the José Martí International Airport in Havana, an accident that killed 112 people.
