flight recorder

As part of the investigation into the incident, the agency confirmed that it’s gathering radar, weather and flight recorder data.

Although data from the flight recorder shows the engines were subsequently restarted, it was too late to prevent the crash.

According to data from the flight recorder, both of the plane's fuel control switches moved from the run to the cut-off position in the space of a second, shortly after take-off.

Investigators have now recovered flight recorder data and are working hard to find out.

Investigators have recovered flight recorder data from the Air India crash earlier this month, the civil aviation ministry has confirmed, marking a key step in the probe.
