similarities with the crash of the model boeing 737 max 8 in october. do you know at this point what the similarities are that these two black boxes now show? they are the patterns of flight which we know from the satellite analysis, which would also be reflected in the flight data roerecorder, possibly in t voice data recorder if they were talking about it. we know that because of the design of these new jets, there was a tendency for the nose to come up. so an item system was installed to bring the nose back down. but a lot of reporting since then has suggested if this system is not essentially working properly, if it gets false readings from faulty sensors or a faulty sensor at the front of the plane it can make it nose much more steeply down and the pilots are unable to overcome that. so in terms of the evidence, one of the questions is, is this idea that they found a jack screw tied to the rear fins on
by the end of the weekend. downloading all of that raw data and then begins the analysis. the understanding of what was happening not only on board with the pilots but also the aircraft itself, its systems and mechanics. according to the new york time, a piece of evidence at the crash site in ethiopia may very well link in crash to an aircraft in october in indonesia which used the same 737 max 8 aircraft. that piece, according to the times, is a jackscrew. it sets the position of the stabilizer on an aircraft. it was found in a position at the crash site that would have had the stabilizer put the plane in a nosedive position. that would force a may not to go very fast and force an airplane to dive which right after takeoff is very unusual and very dangerous. the question, why was it in that position? it could be from pilot input. it could be from auto pilot. but it also could be from the system, an automated system designed to help a pilot avoid a stall that would put an airplane
is there indication about how things are going and when it will be completed? reporter: the process started friday afternoon. if all goes well, it could be wrapped up tonight or tomorrow. that s the process of inspecting, pulling the cards out, inspecting the components part by part and downloading the data. at least the flight data recorder, the part that records and the instruments appear to be in good condition. that s the latest we got on that part of the investigation. the new york times is reporting this could be linked to a crash of lion air back in october, the 737 max 8, based on what is known as a jack screw found at the scene of the flight. that controls the position of the horizontal it causes the
thoughts? my thoughts were it was like the lion air crash last fall. the thought amongst pilot force is it possibly was a stab trim augmentation system. and we pretty much all felt the same as far as that is concerned. so you re blaming the automated system? no, i am not necessarily blaming the automated system. it could be part of the stab trim augmentation system or a computer glitch or another possibility which is a jack screw which manipulates the elevator on the airplane itself. that s what s in the new york times. they re saying that piece of the plane they recovered, the jet screw, suggests that the plane stabilizers tilted upward. is there any other reason stabilizers would be tilting upward if not for some sort of mechanical error? well, no, generally not
air disaster involving the same type of plane. work here is moving forward on the black boxes flight 302. the flight data recorder. we learned from a spokesman that the work is pros guessing and if all goes well, it may be done by the end of the weekend. downloading the raw data and then begins the analysis of what was happening with the pilots on board the aircraft, but also with the aircraft itself, its systems and its mechanics. according to the new york times, a piece of evidence found at the crash site in ethiopia may link this crash to an air crash in october in indonesia, which used the same 737 max 8 aircraft. that piece is a jack screw, and it sets the position of a stabilizer on an aircraft. it was found in a position on the crash site that would have had the stabilizer put the plane in a nose down position. it would force an airplane to
