Airbus: Signal Detected From EgyptAir Flight 804 ELT

Narrows Search Area In Effort To Find The Missing Plane

Airbus says it has detected signals from the Emergency Locator Transmitter that was aboard the A320 operating as EgyptAir Flight 804, which went down last week in the Mediterranean Sea.

The signal from the ELT significantly narrows the area that will be searched for the main wreckage of the missing plane. CNN reports that the area to be searched now has a radius of about 3.1 miles ... down from an area described as being "about the size of Connecticut."

The French aviation accident investigation bureau BEA plans to send a ship with specialized detection equipment to the region where the ELT signal was detected "in the coming days," in an effort to locate and recover the cockpit voice and data recorders from the aircraft, according to the report.

Some small pieces if wreckage, other debris, and human remains have been recovered by authorities. Egyptian officials are working to match those remains with names on the passenger manifest.

The main wreckage has not been located, nor have the CDR or FDR that may offer some insight as to why the plane suddenly disappeared from radar.
