Crash report will not include black box data

A preliminary report into the crash of an AirAsia passenger plane that killed 162 people last month will not include an analysis of the black box flight recorders, an Indonesian investigator said on Tuesday.

The National Transportation Safety Committee will submit its initial findings this week to the International Civil Aviation Organization on AirAsia's first fatal crash.

The Airbus A320-200 vanished from radar screens on Dec 28, less than halfway into a two-hour flight from Surabaya, Indonesia's second-biggest city, to Singapore. There were no survivors.
