Lion Air has ended its search for the cockpit voice recorder from its Boeing 737 MAX jet that crashed into the Java Sea in October, but Indonesian investigators said they plan to launch their own probe as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
The main wreckage and the CVR, one of two so-called black boxes, were not recovered in an initial search. Lion Air said in December it was funding a 38 billion rupiah search using the offshore supply ship MPV Everest.<\/p>\n
A spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Commission , however, said on Thursday the agency would start its own search for the black box as soon as feasible.<\/p>\n
The KNKT spokesman said negotiations with the Indonesian navy were under way to use a navy ship to relaunch the search for the second black box as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt might be as soon as next week. It won\u2019t be as fancy as the MPV Everest but will be equipped with a CVR detector and we already have a remote-operated vehicle,\u201d the commission\u2019s spokesman said.<\/p>\n
The clock is ticking in the hunt for acoustic pings from the L3 Technologies Inc CVR fitted to the jet. It has a 90-day beacon, the manufacturer\u2019s online brochure shows.<\/p>\n
A preliminary report by KNKT focused on airline maintenance and training and the response of a Boeing anti-stall system to a recently replaced sensor but did not give a cause for the crash.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile we appreciate the fact Lion Air Group brought out the MPV Everest ship, we are disappointed because there\u2019s no actual results,\u201d Anton Sahadi, a relative of a victim of the plane crash, told Reuters by a text message.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been a waste of money, of time and of a sophisticated ship for several weeks, we the families of victims were given only fake promises by Lion Air,\u201d he said, adding he was not confident in the government\u2019s efforts.<\/p>\n
The family of the Indonesian co-pilot of the flight filed a wrongful death lawsuit on Friday against Boeing in Chicago, adding to litigation piling up against the planemaker.<\/p>\n
The lawsuit alleges that the Lion Air-operated Boeing 737 MAX jet was unreasonably dangerous because its sensors provided inconsistent information to both the pilots and the aircraft.<\/p>\n
Safety experts say air accident investigation agencies typically lead the search for black boxes with public funding to ensure the independence of the process and that it is unusual to hand the task to one of the parties to the investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
