> The U.S. requires cockpit voice recorders to log two hours of data
So.. what happens when a crash happens at 2:01 into a flight, you have just one minute of audio? how is that in line with the requirement to keep 2 hours of audio?

> The plane's flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder were sent to NTSB labs on Sunday to be read but no voice data was available
So as soon as that 2-hour mark is hit, the CVR secure-erases everything it recorded and starts anew? (data-recovery was not possible???) ... I feel like something is missing here...
- andrewguenther 3y agoIt doesn't clear every two hours, it's a rolling two hour recording. Since the plane was still operational, it continued recording and it was just over 2 hours before maintenance crews disabled the recorder.
- amatecha 3y agoOK, what you're saying is that the 2 hours of audio leading up to the crash were overwritten by the recording having continued for another 2 hours after the incident? So, it's just poor wording in the article?
