The FBI is aiding the Malaysian government's search for a Malaysia Airlines jet missing for more than a week.
The pilot is said to have deleted some files from the computer simulator.
A US law enforcement official told Reuters the Malaysian officials gave the FBI access to data generated by both pilots including data from a hard drive attached to the captain's flight simulator and electronic media used by a co-pilot.
But the official stressed there was no guarantee the FBI analysis would lead to further clues.
Malaysian police chief Khalid Abu said some data was deleted on 3 February from the simulator found at Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah's home and that investigators were trying to recover the deleted files.
The acting transport minister, Hishammuddin Hussein, stressed the captain should be considered innocent until proven guilty and that members of his family were co-operating with the investigation.
Deleting files would not necessarily be suspicious, particularly if it were done to free up memory space.vestigators are considering the possibility of hijacking, sabotage, terrorism or issues related to the mental health of the pilots or anyone else on board.
