Cockpit voice recorder recovered from Florida Learjet that killed nine
The NTSB recovered the cockpit voice recorder from a Learjet that crashed in Florida on November 1, killing all nine aboard.
Investigators recovered the cockpit voice recorder from a Learjet 60 that crashed on November 1 near Greenacres, Florida. The crash killed nine people including tech entrepreneur Adam Robinson, his family, and friends.
The plane was travelling from Austin, Texas to the Bahamas when it encountered heavy rain and bad weather, then nosedived and erupted into flames. The CVR captures cockpit conversations that may not have been transmitted to air traffic control.
In audio released after the crash, co-pilot Nathalia Filgueiras told controllers the plane was in an overspeed condition. It was descending 20,000 feet per minute.
Investigators believe the pilot could not have recovered from the dive.
