The ATSB has recovered the flight data and cockpit voice recorders, or 'black boxes' from the Embraer 120 Brasilia aircraft that crashed at Darwin Airport, Northern Territory on Monday 22 March 2010.
The recorders have been transported to the ATSB's technical facilities in Canberra for analysis.
The ATSB investigation team is currently at the accident site examining and recording the on‑site physical evidence, interviewing witnesses and other involved parties, and examining the available third-party recordings and documentation. The team is expected to complete the on-site phase of the investigation later this week.
A preliminary factual report outlining the facts to date, and highlighting the future lines of enquiry, will be made available to the public on the ATSB's website in about 30 days.
Photographs of the crash site and recorders are on the investigation page of the ATSB's website.
