| Media report EgyptAir plane showed no issues |
Al-Ahram published a scan of the log on its website late on Tuesday.
Egypt's largest state newspaper also reported that EgyptAir flight 804 transmitted 11 'electronic messages' starting at 2109 GMT on May 18 (0709 AEST May 19). The first two indicated that the engines were functional.
The third message came at 0026 GMT on May 19 and showed a rise in the temperature of the co-pilot's window. The plane kept transmitting messages for the next three minutes before vanishing off radar screens, the Al-Ahram report said.
EgyptAir flight 804 vanished from radar screens last Thursday, with 66 passengers and crew on board.
Greece will start dispatching key information on the crash to Egyptian authorities on Wednesday, including data from the airliner as it flew through Greek airspace moments before disappearing, a source close to the probe says.
'We will start sending the main data from tomorrow, including the radar tracking and the conversation with controllers,' one source who requested anonymity told Reuters on Tuesday.
Meanwhile initial forensic analysis of passengers' remains points to an explosion on Flight MS804, sources in the Egyptian-led investigation committee said.
The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said so far only small body parts, no bigger than the palm of a hand, have been recovered, indicating that an explosion ripped through the plane.
If the aircraft had hit the water intact the bodies would not have suffered such damage, the sources said.
The information was, however, officially denied by the head of the Egyptian Forensic Medicine Authority, who said it had 'no basis in fact'.
Neither the authority nor any of its staff had said anything of the sort, Hisham Abdul-Hamid said.
