Search parties discovered the flight recorder of the missing Boeing 737-500 of the Indonesian company Sriwijaya Air in the sea on Sunday.
This was announced by the country's army chief.
The passenger plane operated by the local company Sriwijaya Air with 62 people on board was en route to Pontianak on the island of Borneo on Saturday when it disappeared from the radar shortly after take-off in the capital Jakarta.
After that, the fate of the machine was initially uncertain.
By Sunday search parties had found numerous debris in the Java Sea.
Body parts and personal items of the passengers were also discovered.
It is considered unlikely that there will be survivors.

Rescue teams were in action in the disaster area off the coast of Java.

As data from the Swedish Internet service Flightradar24 showed, the machine had lost more than 3300 meters of altitude within one minute about four minutes after take-off.
Then she disappeared.
Fishermen had reported hearing an explosion.
The first pieces of debris were later discovered between the islands of Laki Island and Lancang Island.
