CAIRO — The flight data recorder from EgyptAir Flight 804, which crashed in the Mediterranean last month, has been recovered, Egyptian investigators said on Friday, one day after announcing that the cockpit voice recorder had been found. The crew of the John Lethbridge, a research vessel involved in the search, found the wreckage of the plane, the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder. “Good news that we have the two boxes on hand,” said EgyptAir’s chairman, Safwat Musallam, who declined to comment on the condition of the flight data recorder. The committee had said on Thursday that the cockpit voice recorder had been damaged, but that it had managed to recover its memory unit. “The vessel equipment managed to pick up the memory unit; which is considered as the most important part of the above-mentioned recorder,” the Egyptian Aircraft Accident Investigation Committee said in a statement.
