Key Points:
- Investigators recovered the cockpit voice recorder (black box) from the Nov. 1 Learjet crash in Greenacres that killed all nine onboard, aiming to uncover the cause of the accident.
- The cockpit voice recorder captures all cockpit conversations, which may provide new insights beyond the co-pilot’s transmissions to air traffic control already released after the crash.
- The NTSB is analyzing the device at its Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C., though the condition of the recordings is uncertain due to possible crash damage.
- Excavation at the crash impact site on Military Trail is complete, and residents of the nearby mobile home park have been allowed to return home, while those displaced have been offered temporary housing.
- Military Trail remains closed between 10th Avenue North and Cresthaven Boulevard as investigations continue, with no timeline yet for determining the crash cause.
