Locked Out of Cockpit

voice recorderの音声の取り出しが行われ、会話の解析がおこなわれています。会話からはパイロットのひとりがコックピットを離れ、再び中へ入ろうとしたができなかったということが明らかになったそうです。これは何を意味しているのでしょうか。(Kawada)

One Pilot Was Locked Out of Cockpit Before Crash in France

As officials struggled Wednesday to explain why a jet with 150 people on board crashed in relatively clear skies, an investigator said evidence from a cockpit voice recorder indicated one pilot left the cockpit before the plane’s descent and was unable to get back in.

A senior military official involved in the investigation described “very smooth, very cool” conversation between the pilots during the early part of the flight from Barcelona to Düsseldorf. Then the audio indicated that one of the pilots left the cockpit and could not re-enter.

“The guy outside is knocking lightly on the door and there is no answer,” the investigator said. “And then he hits the door stronger and no answer. There is never an answer.”

He said, “You can hear he is trying to smash the door down.”
