KATHMANDU - Searchers found the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder on Monday from a passenger flight that crashed on Sunday, killing at least 70 people in Nepal's worst plane accident in 30 years, officials said.
The data on the recorders may help investigators determine what led the Yeti Airlines ATR 72 aircraft carrying 72 people to go down in clear weather, just before landing in the tourist city of Pokhara.
Both recorders were in good shape and will be sent for analysis based on the recommendation of the manufacturer, Kathmandu airport official Teknath Sitaula told Reuters.
Under international aviation rules, the crash investigation agency of the country where the plane was designed and built is automatically part of the inquiry.
ATR is based in France and the plane's engines were manufactured in Canada by Pratt & Whitney Canada.
