It has been possible to extract the data corresponding to flight WCW 708 of 16 August 2005 from the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and the Flight Data Recorder (FDR). Working copies have been given to the Venezuelan Judicial Authorities, to the French Judicial Authorities and to the representatives of the investigative bodies of the four countries involved.

The technical investigators have now started the validation phase, that is to say they are carrying out the additional work required to analyze the recorded data.
