Sorry if it's not RV related, but I thought I should ask this to the most knowledgeable and helpful community that I know: VAF.
Yesterday afternoon, our Flying Club's homebuilt Dynareo MCR-4S crashed just after takeoff with 3 people inboard. Pilot and right seat occupant suffer serious feet injuries, but hopefully are alive and their pronostic is quite reassuring. Pilt's father in the back-seat simply unbuckled his 4-point harness and walked out of the plane with a small scratch on his right hand... kind of a miracle. The plane is totalled.
It was equipped with a Dynon FlightDEK-D180 that has not been destroyed, thus my question to experts in this forum. The inspector in charge of the crash investigation would like to know the best procedure to try to retrieve any valuable information about the flight that might still be stored in the EFIS/EMS.
I think it's the first time they have to deal with this unit and they'd like to avoid losing data by simply making the wrong action.
Any advice or written procedure you can point me to would be great.
If you think the information is irrelevant to this forum, please PM me or send your emails to "danielmouly at wanadoo.fr".
Many thanks in advance.
