http://avherald.com/h?article=4987fb09&opt=0Late Jun 27th 2016 Egypt's CAA announced (mirrored by the BEA in the morning of Jun 28th), that the French experts at the BEA Labs were able to successfully repair the electronic boards of the flight data recorder, subsequent testing to ensure data were on the recorder and can be downloaded has been successful. The following day (Jun 28th) attempts to repair the board of the cockpit voice recorder will commence, thereafter the recorders will be returned to Cairo for download and data analysis.

Both FDR and CVR were damaged and were sent to France for repairs.

Re: EgyptAir Flight MS804
Fire confirmed:
(Link to AvHerald in post above)On Jun 29th 2016 Egypt's CAA reported that the flight data recorder has been successfully downloaded. Data are present from departure at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris until the aircraft was at FL370 just after the ACARS messages (see below in data section) were transmitted. Together with wreckage parts from the front of the aircraft, that had been recovered for showing severe heat damage and thick black smoke damage, there is evidence of a fire in the forward section of the aircraft. The investigation is going to undertake comprehensive analysis to try to determine the source and cause of the fire.

Re: EgyptAir Flight MS804
I'm not sure that's all that much new information...just new data that aligns with old data.

I see a headline to the effect that "The Pilots Tried to Put out the Fire".
https://www.yahoo.com/news/egyptair-cra ... 14374.html
Within the article is no evidence nor comment whatsoever as to what indicates that pilots were trying to put out a fire.
I heart the media...

They put it out when they hit the ocean didn't they?Within the article is no evidence nor comment whatsoever as to what indicates that pilots were trying to put out a fire.

Re: EgyptAir Flight MS804
Sorry, Sir Sickbag, there is no evidence presented to corroborate that the pilots were making an active attempt to extinguish the fire using small hand-held extinguishers, nor cowboy improvisation to use a massive, water-based extinguisher.They put it out when they hit the ocean didn't they?Within the article is no evidence nor comment whatsoever as to what indicates that pilots were trying to put out a fire.
Based on the information in the article, one could just as easily suppose that the pilots were passed out and that some donkeys were at the controls, guiding the plane into the ocean.

What does Bibi knows that we don't?Plane debris found on a beach in northern Israel is very likely from crashed EgyptAir Flight 804, the Israeli Prime Minister's office said Thursday.
The debris was collected Thursday morning from the beach of Netanya, the statement said.
"It appears with very high probability that this is the debris of the Egyptian plane that blew up over the Mediterranean Sea a couple of months ago."

Incredibly annoying. The statement is so brief it's essentially useless.

Re: EgyptAir Flight MS804
It's not really the briefness that gets me, it's that we already have a number of pretty good indications that there was a fire, so this is of minimal new value...I guess there might be some inference (if you really stretch it) that there was not an explosion, per se....On yahoo this AM: The word "Fire" is heard on the CVR.
Incredibly annoying. The statement is so brief it's essentially useless.
I even think the initial rumors from long ago of a turn and level-off near 10,000 feet are suggestive of the pilots having some control of things and most likely discussing the situation, and then the various ACARS fire-related messages.
In addition, there was that other article with the headline that "the crew was fighting the fire", and then had no sentences whatsoever in the body of the article that addressed the headline...at all, any, whatsoever.
"An official anonymously reported that the CVR contained discussion that indicated that the crew made an effort to extinguish the fire, but no further details were supplied".
Aw well, I'm sure the headline generated a good bit of click traffic.

Re: EgyptAir Flight MS804
I remember, some years ago, maybe even on the old forum, someone here proclaiming that when you get a fire indication you need to get it on the ground in 30 minutes if you don't want to died. (Or 20 minutes, or 44 minutes and 18.227 seconds; I forget exactly.) This absolute assertion immediately caused one of the running bickering arguments we routinely know and don't love -- why 44:18.227 and not 44:17.227, what about gliders because they don't have fuel on board, why such a requirement isn't in the FARs, all that rot.
From the information I've seen, it seems like in this case either the fire was not burning for anything near as long as 20/30/44:18.227 minutes before the A/C went down for good, or it must have been going for quite some time before any of the events we're aware of took place. I also haven't seen any commentary on this point. Is this a reasonable thing to think (speculate wildly) about?

Re: EgyptAir Flight MS804
It's certainly a reasonable topic of discussion... some aircraft have remained airborne for many minutes after the initiation of a fire that ultimately rendered them not airworthy. At the other end of the spectrum, to give an extreme example, would be TWA flight 800 in which the plane became unairworthy about 100 milliseconds after a fire started.
The problem is, you really can't say much about it without knowing the nature and location of the fire, and there seems to be no real information available on those topics.

Re: EgyptAir Flight MS804
I remember. It was 15 minutes and it was a rule-of-thumb average. Of course the variation is huge.
Re: EgyptAir Flight MS804
I suppose not, but we aren't talking about an instant fuel tank explosion, and in most things that aren't fuel (or lithium batteries) a fire has to burn for a while before it becomes large enough to threaten structural integrity or damage all instances of redundant systems. Not necessarily fifteen minutes, but probably more than 2-4. So it seems to me that either the fire must have burned for a while somewhere it wasn't/couldn't be detected, or it spread abnormally rapidly. (Or possibly the situation was in progress for longer but prevented earlier ACARS reports from getting through.)The problem is, you really can't say much about it without knowing the nature and location of the fire, and there seems to be no real information available on those topics.
There's a limited number of places on an aircraft that a fire can burn undetected...

Re: EgyptAir Flight MS804
I note, there, that there are new 'information releases'.
Perhaps something to the effect that something bad quickly happened at cruise.
Evan feels that transparency is lacking- I seem to recall they had the CVR which, in this incident, might be very insightful.
Gabe posted an av-hearld quote, and, perhaps, the new word of the day is 'explosives':
http://avherald.com/h?article=4987fb09&opt=0
I seem to recall that there were indications of leveling 'around' 10,000 feet and and a sort-of-deliberate-looking circle...
