“The data transfer and preliminary analysis were an important step in a thorough and transparent security investigation,” said TSB chief Kathleen Fox, but did not provide any details on the results of the analysis.
“The work in Paris is over, but the investigation is not over yet. There are still a number of important questions that need to be answered,” he said.

“We have asked Iran to provide actual data from the registrars as soon as possible,” Fox said, adding that Iran, which was leading the investigation, had not given TSB permission to provide details.
An international team of experts is made up of researchers from countries whose citizens died in a plane crash. This week, the researchers met at the French Office for Civil Aviation Security Research and Analysis (BEA) in Paris to launch a record study.
On Monday, the BEA announced that the black box records had been successfully transferred.
These data include cabin records as well as important information on the condition and operation of the aircraft’s technical systems during the flight.
The data was passed on to the Iranian Bureau of Investigation. He directs the investigation and BEA acts as a provider of technical services.
The Ukrainian International Airlines (MAU) Boeing 737-800 aircraft, flying to Kiev on January 8, was shot down by two missiles and crashed as soon as it took off from Tehran’s main airport.
The Shi’ite Republic initially blamed the plane crash for technical problems, but admitted a few days later that its forces shot down a Ukrainian plane due to “human error” and supported it with a missile. The accident killed 176 people on the liner.
Most of the victims were Iranian or Canadian, and many of the passengers had dual citizenship.
Canada, along with Ukraine, has been demanding for months that Iran, which has no technical means to decipher the recorders, send them abroad.
In late June, the BEA announced that Iran had formally requested technical assistance to transfer data from the black boxes.
