FDR and CVR both recovered.

Great work

Macinbird – “Fresh from the accident scene, muddy, without a pinger attached.
Somehow, I don't think they were keeping an Allen wrench handy to immediately remove the pinger as soon as the unit was discovered.”

Well done NTSB and all agencies concerned – great effort in difficult circumstances. Now we can get to the heart of this tragic matter, with both CVR and FDR data. Bravo boys and girls and thank you…….

From the expert positive action perspective :-

“The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is providing the following information to urge the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to take action on the safety recommendations issued in this report. These recommendations address the need to install cockpit voice recorders (CVR) with a minimum 25-hour recording capability on all newly manufactured airplanes required to have a CVR and retrofit these CVRs on existing aircraft required to have flight recorders. These recommendations are derived from the NTSB’s experiences with investigations that lacked access to relevant CVR data. Information supporting these recommendations is discussed below.”
