调查人员周一表示，他们已经从一架商务飞机上找到了驾驶舱语音记录器从天而降在上周佛罗里达的恶劣天气中，杀死了所有九个人上船了。
美国国家运输安全委员会在社交媒体上发布的一份声明中表示，11月1日，这架飞往巴哈马的里尔喷气式飞机撞上地面并爆发出火球的地点发现了录音机。
如果设备中的数据可以恢复，它可以提供关键细节关于飞行员在遇到湍流时互相说的话，机翼上结了冰，他们失去了对飞机的控制。
目前还不知道记录器是否已经损坏，或者它是否还在工作。NTSB表示，该设备正在华盛顿的一个实验室进行评估。
航空安全专家Jeff Guzzetti告诉美联社，从该机构发布在网上的照片来看，记录仪的橙色金属外壳看起来状况良好。
“很有可能录音机上的任何信息都保存了下来，”古扎蒂说。“如果他们能找到它，而且它来自事故航班，那将对调查人员有很大帮助。”
他指出，当NTSB从一架医疗运输机上找到驾驶舱语音记录器时坠毁在费城2025年1月，7人死亡，结果显示该设备可能已经好几年没有运行了。
目击者捕捉到了这架商务飞机头朝下撞向地面的戏剧性视频，空中交通管制传输记录下了飞行员意识到自己命运的令人不安的时刻。但驾驶舱语音记录器可能会揭示坠机的其他方面，包括为什么里尔喷气式飞机似乎绕过了一个大型风暴单体，却直接撞上了一个快速发展的较小风暴单体。
调查人员说，控制飞机俯仰的尾翼关键部件升降舵的碎片，在一英里外被发现确认飞机在撞击前就开始碎裂了。
副驾驶告诉空中交通管制员，飞机被抛上抛下超过700英尺（213米），她要求他们提供一条穿过该地区的更好的路线。
一般来说，NTSB需要12到18个月来完成坠机调查，但复杂的案件可能需要更长时间。NTSB大约400名员工正在进行1200多项积极的调查。
调查人员将审查维修记录和飞机的任何问题历史。他们还将采访运营该航班的Upper Jets公司的官员，以及航空交通管制员和飞机起飞地德克萨斯州奥斯汀机场的工作人员。
Investigators recover the voice recorder from a jet crash in Florida that killed 9
Investigators said Monday they have recovered the cockpit voice recorder from a business jet thatplummeted from the skyamid severe weather in Florida last week，killing all nine peopleon board．
The recorder was found at the site where the Bahamas-bound Learjet slammed into the ground and erupted in a fireball Nov． 1， the National Transportation Safety Board said in a statement posted to social media．
If data from the device can be recovered， it could providecrucial detailsabout what the pilots said to each other as they encountered turbulence， ice formed on the wings and they lost control of the aircraft．
It was not immediately known if the recorder had been damaged or if it was working in the first place． The NTSB said the device was being evaluated at a lab in Washington．
From photos the agency posted online， showing the recorder＇s orange-painted metal shell， it appeared to be in decent shape， aviation safety expert Jeff Guzzetti told The Associated Press．
“It＇s very plausible that any info on the recorder survived，” Guzzetti said． “If they can recover it， and it＇s from the accident flight， that will be a huge help to investigators．”
He noted that when the NTSB recovered the cockpit voice recorder from a medical transport plane thatcrashed in Philadelphiain January 2025， killing seven people， it turned out the device likely had not been functioning for several years．
Witnesses captured dramatic video as the business jet plunged nose-first into the ground， and air traffic control transmissions recorded the disturbing moments as the pilots realized their fate． But the cockpit voice recorder could shed light on other aspects of the crash， including why the Learjet appeared to steer around a large storm cell only to head directly into a rapidly developing smaller one．
Investigators have said pieces of a key part of the tail called the elevator， which controls the plane’s pitch，were found more than a mile awayfrom the main crater， confirming the plane started to break apart before impact．
The co-pilot told air traffic controllers that the plane was being thrown up and down more than 700 feet （213 meters）， and she asked them for a better route through the area．
Generally， it takes 12 to 18 months for the NTSB to complete a crash investigation， but complicated cases can take longer． The NTSB’s roughly 400 workers are pursuing more than 1，200 active investigations．
Investigators will review maintenance records and any history of problems with the plane． They will also interview officials at Upper Jets， the company that operated the flight， as well as air traffic controllers and people who work at the airport in Austin， Texas， from where the plane departed．
