Technicians from the Aeronautical Accident Investigation and Prevention Center (Cenipa) have already managed to find the data and voice recorders from the aircraft that crashed this Friday (9) in Vinhedo, in the interior of São Paulo. The equipment will be sent to Brasília for data analysis. 
According to the head of Cenipa, Air Brigadier Marcelo Moreno, there are two recorders: the Cockpit Voice Recorder, which records the pilots’ voices and all the sound in the cabin, and the Flight Data Recorder, which records technical information such as the aircraft’s speed, inclination, and whether the flaps or landing gear were down.
“This is important for the investigation, so that we can reconstruct the accident, in order to understand the incident and deliver accident prevention and transport safety to society,” he explained.
He said the data will be analyzed as quickly as possible, but the investigation will depend on the condition in which the equipment was found.
“It depends on the degree of destruction of the recorders. We have the capacity to extract them even if the recorders are very damaged, but it depends on each event. We may have to take them to the recorder manufacturer in the United States, as we really need to find out what happened. I can’t say right now how long it will take for that to happen,” Moreno said.
Currently, there are two laboratories in the Southern Hemisphere with the capacity to analyze black boxes, one in Australia and the other at Cenipa, in Brasília.
Cenipa did not disclose what the causes of the accident were. Moreno said that all information about the flight will be analyzed to prepare the final report on the accident.
“Everything is very important for our information. Our investigation is integrative and involves human, operational and material factors. All information, whether from air traffic control or meteorology, will be collected in the first phase for later data analysis,” he said.
