Indonesian investigators have successfully downloaded information from the flight data recorder (FDR) of the Sriwijaya Air jet that crashed into the sea last week.

Indonesian navy divers searching the ocean floor on Tuesday recovered the flight data recorder from a Sriwijaya Air jet that crashed into the Java Sea with 62 people on board.

The recorder, which gathers information about the speed, altitude and direction of the plane, was "retrieved in several pieces."

Accident investigators are saying it's time to employ technology to make crash data available immediately.

The flight data and voice recorders showed "everything was normal" until both failed at 24 minutes after takeoff pointing to "a very sudden explosive decompression."

Just moments before it disappeared from radar, Flight QZ8501 was apparently climbing at a rate of 6,000 feet a minute, something rare even for a fighter jet.

The analysis of the AirAsia QZ8501 flight data recorder (FDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR) will take up to two weeks before the contents of it can be revealed to the public.

The flight data recorder was retrieved Monday from the AirAsia plane that crashed in the Java Sea a fortnight ago with 162 people on board, Indonesia's national search and rescue chief said.

A check on flight data revealed that AK11, which was scheduled to land in Chennai at 7.25am local time, was diverted to Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Malaysia and Australia will sign a deal specifying who handles any wreckage from missing flight MH370 that may be recovered, including the crucial "black box" flight data recorders.

Noting that the idea had already been developed by some international researchers, the idea was not far from becoming a reality.

Black boxes, which record all in-flight data in aircraft, are essential tools in air accident investigations and thanks to them nine out of ten accidents can be explained.
