The search for the CVR is still continuous utilizing an undersea robotic, which is commonly called Remotely Operated Automobile (ROV)
Jakarta – Research study vessel Baruna Jaya has spotted the presumed location of the crashed Sriwijaya Air flight SJ-182’s cockpit voice recorder (CVR), authorities notified on Thursday.
Chief of the Firm for Evaluation and Application of Innovation (BPPT), Hammam Riza, stated the company’s Baruna Jaya IV is still at the crash site and is continuing to search for the CVR, which belongs to the black box flight recorder.
“ The search for the CVR is still continuous using an undersea robotic which is frequently called Remotely Operated Automobile (ROV),” he stated in a press statement released on Thursday.
The ROV is equipped with Ultra Short Standard (USBL), efficient in identifying the coordinate position so that the area of any product on the seabed can be determined, he notified.
During the search operation in which the RCV was released over a 53- meter radius, 34 areas of plane debris have been found, with the farthest particles found at a range of 53 meters from the point where the flight information recorder was retrieved, he stated.
The airplane’s flight information recorder (FDR) was obtained by Navy divers from the seabed around 4: 30 p.m. local time on Tuesday. It was discovered lying about 23 meters listed below the water surface.
The FDR device of the airplane, which was carrying 50 passengers and 12 crew members on board when it crashed into the ocean on January 9, 2021, has actually been handed over to the National Committee for Transport Safety (KNKT).
The Transportation Ministry had earlier validated that airport authorities had lost contact with the Sriwijaya Air flight, serving the Jakarta-Pontianak route, around 2: 40 p.m. regional time on Saturday (January 9, 2021).
According to the ministry, the last contact with the Boeing 737-500 jet, bearing the registration number PK-CLC, was made at 11 nautical miles north of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, after the aircraft crossed an altitude of 11 thousand feet and was ascending to 13 thousand feet.
The aircraft took off from Soekarno-Hatta Airport at 2: 40 p.m. regional time on Saturday and was set up to land at Supadio Airport in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, at 3: 50 p.m. regional time.
