A family who lost their relatives to the Indonesian plane crash have filed a legal case against Boeing alleging them of flying a "defective and unreasonably dangerous" aircraft.

The Sriwijaya Air flight (SJ-182) crashed into the depths of Java Sea minutes after its takeoff from the Jakarta airport, earlier this month The aircraft had 62 people on board at the time of the crash.

An Indonesian family has now sued Boeing at circuit court of Cook county in Illinois. The family lost three members to the deadly crash.

Represented by Wisner Law Firm, the family has alleged the Boeing 737-500 aircraft was defective in more way than one before the takeoff, and the damages were ignored by the company.

The lawsuit claims there is a possibility of faulty autothrottle system — a system responsible for controlling engine power automatically. It also alleges fault in the flight control system.

As per the submitted document, it has been alleged that there was possible corrosion on 'the engine bleed-air fifth stage check valve… causing it to become stuck in the open position during flight, resulting in an uncontrollable compressor stall'.

For now, the authorities and search party has failed to find the cockpit voice recorder through which the investigators can hear the conversation between the pilots and get details of what went wrong within minutes of takeoff.

However, the plane's flight data recorder has been recovered and is being investigated.

The law firm has reported that while only one Indonesian family has filed a legal case yet, the company is in contact with other families who have lost members in this deadly crash.

"Our thoughts are with the Sriwijaya Air flight SJ-182 crew, passengers and their families. Boeing technical experts are assisting with the investigation and we continue to offer any support needed during this difficult time," Boeing said in a statement.

Indonesia plane crash: Family sues Boeing for flying 'faulty' airplane

A search team managed to recover on Tuesday the black box of Indonesia's Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737 that crashed into the Java Sea late last week, Xinhua news agency reported, citing local media. 
 
The jet, which was bound for Borneo, crashed soon after take-off from the Indonesian capital of Jakarta, with 62 people on board. 
 
The device is expected to help investigators determine what caused the Boeing 737-500 plane to nosedive into the ocean in heavy rain shortly after taking off from Jakarta on Saturday. 
 
TV stations showed divers on an inflatable vessel with a large white container containing the device heading to a Jakarta port. 
 
Military chief Air Chief Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto said the plane's other black box, the cockpit voice recorder, was likely to be found soon because its beacon was being emitted in the same area. 
 
The devices were buried in seabed mud under tons of sharp objects in the plane's wreckage, navy Chief Adm. Yudo Margono said. He said at least 160 divers were deployed Tuesday in the search.

This is how the readout process works with black boxes:&nbsp;

WHAT ARE BLACK BOXES?

They are not actually black but high-visibility orange. Experts disagree how the nickname originated but it has become synonymous with the quest for answers when planes crash.

Many historians attribute their invention to Australian scientist David Warren in the 1950s. They are mandatory.

The aim is not to establish judicial liability, but to identify causes and help prevent future accidents.

HOW HAVE THEY EVOLVED?

The earliest devices recorded limited data on wire or foil. Models like those typically found on the 1980s-designed Boeing 737-50 use magnetic tape. Modern ones use computer chips.

The recordings are housed inside crash-survivable containers able to withstand g-forces 3,400 times the force of gravity.

The disappearance in 2014 of Malaysian Airlines MH370 triggered debate about whether data should be streamed instead.

Airbus and France`s BEA are testing an alternative design in a floatable panel embedded in the aircraft`s fuselage. Bolts would retract and the device would fall away when the plane is about to crash on water, avoiding a deep-sea search.

HOW BIG ARE THEY?

They weigh about 10 pounds (4.5 kilos) and contain four main parts:

* a chassis or interface designed to fix the device and facilitate recording and playback

* an underwater locator beacon

* the core housing or `Crash-Survivable Memory Unit` made of stainless steel or titanium

* inside there, the recordings on chips or older formats.

There are two recorders: a Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) for pilot voices or cockpit sounds, and a Flight Data Recorder (FDR).

HOW WILL THE RECORDERS BE HANDLED?

After a crash over the sea, the recorder is placed back in water to prevent damage from contact with air while being transported.

Once dry, technicians peel away protective material and carefully clean and retrieve the recordings, which are copied.

Lab experts sometimes use "spectral analysis," a way of examining sounds that can pick out barely audible alarms or the first fleeting crack of an explosion. Indonesian investigators say the Sriwijaya jet appeared to be intact when it hit water.

HOW MUCH INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE?

The FDR contains about 25 hours of data on eight tracks and the CVR has 30 minutes of conversation, according to the final report on a similar model of Boeing 737 which crashed in 2008.

Later models have two hours of cockpit recordings.

In many countries, only the main investigator and a handful of people are allowed to hear the raw cockpit tapes.

HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS TAKE?

Indonesia has said it will take 2-5 days to inspect and download recordings. Their analysis can take much longer.

Interim reports are published after a month but are often sparse. Deeper investigations take a year or more to complete.

Black Box of crashed Indonesian Boeing 737 passenger plane recovered from Java Sea

Days after the deadly crash of Indonesia's Sriwijaya Air aircraft, divers from the search and rescue team have found more debris of the fallen passenger jet, but no survivors have been spotted yet.

The Boeing 737-500, which had 62 people onboard, crashed into the high-velocity Java Sea minutes after take-off from the Jakarta Airport. The search and rescue operations began as soon as the aircraft was confirmed to have crashed.

During the search, parts of the crashed plane were spotted on the&nbsp;sea floor in the&nbsp;underwater video from the Indonesian navy.

Since the crash, many people have been trying to analyze the reason behind this crash, with many describing it to be a very "dramatic" incident which does not add up statistically. "The airspeed is far too low. The aircraft didn't accelerate up to the correct speeds for continuous flight,"&nbsp;Stephen Wright, professor of aircraft systems at Finland's Tampere University. told the media.

FAA Administrator Steve Dickson who had piloted test flights during the approval process said he was "100 per cent comfortable" having his family fly the jet.

Boeing Chief Executive David Calhoun said: "We will never forget the lives lost in the two tragic accidents that led to the decision to suspend operations, adding,"These events and the lessons we have learned as a result have reshaped our company and further focused our attention on our core values of safety, quality and integrity."

After FAA's decision to stop Boeing from flying the 737 MAX, several countries moved to ban the plane from flying in their country.

However, the families of the Ethiopian crash victims said they felt "sheer disappointment and renewed grief" after FAA's decision.

The US House of Representatives had earlier in its report in September had said that Boeing had failed in its design and development and that the FAA had failed in its oversight.

US congress report faults Federal Aviation Administration, Boeing for 737 Max crashes

In pics: 2018, a catastrophic year for Indonesia

US aeroplane maker Boeing has defended its global fleet of 737 Max aircraft, &nbsp;a variant of which was involved in the tragic Lion Air crash in Indonesia in October. Speaking exclusively to WION, Dinesk Keskar, Senior VP, Boeing Commercial Planes, added Boeing would provide answers once the investigation into the crash is over. &nbsp;

"Safety (is) at (the) core of the Boeing company," Keskar told WION.&nbsp;

The Lion Air crash was one of the worst air disasters of all time.&nbsp;

The Boeing 737-Max plane — one of its pilots <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/delhi-boy-bhavye-suneja-was-reportedly-flying-lion-air-plane-that-crashed-with-189-on-board-174149">was Delhi boy Bhavye Suneja</a> — crashed into the Java Sea shortly after taking off from Jakarta on October 29.&nbsp;

All 189 passengers and crew on board were killed.&nbsp;

Moments after takeoff, the pilots of the Lion Air flight battled to control the 737-Max after faulty data from a sensor repeatedly forced the aircraft to tilt its nose down.

Indonesian investigators have blamed the aircraft, saying that the Boeing 737-Max was not airworthy and that it should have been grounded.&nbsp;

Since the crash, WION has run a number of reports on airline safety and accountability.&nbsp;

The question is, if there were lapses on Boeing's part, who will punish it?&nbsp;

Keskar told WION Boeing "make sure that our airplanes are safe, the crew that operates is safe and at the same time, the customers... are all important".&nbsp;

Keskar added that "our chairman and CEO has said Boeing Max is as safe as any other plane flying out there".&nbsp;

And he said that Boeing would look into all aspects of the investigation and provide answers once it is complete.&nbsp;

Since the crash, Lion Air has indicated that it could scrap a $22 billion order for the Boeing jet. That of course could hurt Boeing just as much, if not more, than the findings of the investigation into the crash.&nbsp;
