abc.net.au/news/nepal-to-send-data-recorder-from-crash-to-france/101865372Nepalese authorities have begun returning the bodies of victims from the Yeti Airlines crash to their families, as the country's officials try to determine what caused its deadliest plane accident in 30 years.
In its first step, Nepal's Civil Aviation Authority announced on Tuesday it would be sending the aircraft's data recorder to France for analysis. The twin-engine ATR 72-500 aircraft plummeted into a gorge on Sunday as it was completing a 27-minute flight from the capital, Kathmandu, to the resort town of Pokhara, killing at least 70 of the 72 people aboard.
It's still not clear what caused the crash, but some Aviation experts say it appears that the turboprop went into a stall at low altitude on approach to the airport. Searchers found the plane's cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder on Monday, and combed through debris scattered down the 300-metre-deep gorge in search of the people who remain missing, but are presumed dead.Jagannath Niraula, spokesperson for Nepal's Civil Aviation Authority said the cockpit voice recorder would be analysed locally, but that the flight data recorder would be sent to France.
