Crucial evidence that could finally solve the mystery behind Saturday's crash in Mangalore, which left 158 people dead has been found, and investigators are now trying to find answers to questions like this when they look at what could have possibly gone wrong.
According to sources, the throttle in the cockpit, freed from wreckage found in an anterior position, suggesting the pilot may have attempted a final push to lift off seconds before the accident.
In total 158 people were killed and eight other miraculously survived after Air India flight 812 overshot the runway IX of 2000 feet, and go over the edge of Mangalore table-top airport. The plane flew from Dubai to Mangalore with 160 passengers and six crew on board.
Meanwhile, investigators on Sunday even brought the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and Digital Flight Computer Unit Acquisition (DFDAU), which record cockpit conversations and technical details from the wreck of the unfortunate Air India Express. But the hunt for the decisive Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) continues today.
The CVR and DFDR is known as "Black Box". While CVR picks up radio transmissions and sounds in the cockpit that the pilot's conversation with Air Traffic Controllers and engine noise, log DFDR actual flight, including altitude, speed, heading, vertical acceleration and aircraft pitch.
The DFDAU register short flight parameters.
The instruments will again be brought to Delhi for the investigation of Air Safety Directorate of DGCA to determine the causes of the accident, said official sources.
The statement by the Civil Aviation Authority Ministry said that the CVR was affected by fire but was expected to provide the requested information.
Official sources say it will take at least two weeks to analyze data.
CAA Minister Praful Patel has said the DGCA inquiry report should be expected to draw some conclusions.
