The records of the black box, the conversation between the pilot and ATC and flight data are prohibited to be published, Director General of CAAN Sanjeev Gautam said at a media briefing in Kathmandu, citing the rules of International Civil Aviation Organisation.
“We will investigate the leaked conversations between the ATC and the cockpit,” Gautam said.
The CAAN has transferred the six employees of the Air Control Room who were on duty during the plane crash. Rescuers, meanwhile, claimed that the team reached the crash site within two minutes.
“It took time to douse the fire as the blaze spread in the dried grass of the site, though the rescue team reached on time,” said Gautam.
