JAKARTA - Investigators are working extra to compile a full transcript of the cockpit voice recorder found from the debris of Boeing 737-800 Jeju Air that crashed in South Korea.

The South Korean Transport Ministry said investigators had found one of the two aircraft engines and planned to retrieve another engine on Saturday, January 4.

Reported by Reuters, they will also investigate the tail of the plane and landing gear at the crash site.

The Ministry of Transportation, which is conducting inspections of all Boeing 737-800 aircraft operated by Korean airlines, plans to ask for immediate repair measures if problems are found.

Previously, parts of the Boeing 737 operational clue book were found and appeared to be torn due to the Jeju Air accident site.

According to MB cable TV, several pages of the Boeing 737 operational clue book, which detailed various technical metrics for the plane, were found among aircraft debris.

The manual, also known as the Quick Reference Handbook (QRH), is a 2,000-page manual that contains emergency response procedures. The manual is usually stored in the cockpit, with one copy for each captain and co-pilot.

The pages found again include details about the minimum power needed for Boeing 737-800 to glide with an open landing gear, as well as procedures for emergency landing in water, quoted from The Korea Times3 January.
