SINGAPORE — The Ministry of Transport (MOT) is helping Nepalese authorities to retrieve and process the data readout from the flight recorders of Yeti Airlines flight 691, which crashed in Pokhara on Jan 15.
This comes at the request of the investigation authority in Nepal, a ministry spokesman said in a statement on Thursday .
“All investigation-related information, including the progress of investigations and the findings, will be handled by the Nepalese investigation authority,” the spokesman said. It preserves engine sounds, instrumental warnings and other audio recordings during the flight. There is also a cockpit voice recorder that captures and stores audio signals from the microphones and earphones of headsets that pilots use.
It quoted Buddhi Sagar Lamichhane, joint secretary at Nepal’s tourism ministry, as saying that the team will leave for Singapore on Friday, with the examination expected to take at least a week.
