In Indonesia, a voice recorder of a Sriwijaya Air passenger Boeing 737-524 was found, which crashed in the waters of the Java Sea. This is reported by Reuters with reference to the country's Ministry of Transport.
The department has not yet commented on the state of the found device.
Earlier it was reported that the cause of the plane crash in Indonesia could be a malfunction of the engine control system and an attempt by the crew to fix it. According to sources familiar with the investigation of the plane crash, the flight recorder records show that the pilots faced a failure of the autothrottle of one of the two engines, which controlled a number of aircraft flight parameters. However, the crew did not turn off the system, as it should be according to the instructions, but tried to restore its operability.
The plane of the Indonesian airline Sriwijaya Air, en route from Jakarta to Pontianak, disappeared from radar on January 9, four minutes after takeoff. Later it became known that the plane fell into the water. It was reported that 62 people could be on board, including ten children. No survivors reported.
