NTSB Recovers Cockpit Recorder From Wreckage Of Akron Plane Crash

wkyc.com

The National Transportation Safety Board says the cockpit voice recorder from a small jet that crashed into an apartment building in Akron this week captured the pilot and co-pilot discussing weather and landing conditions. NTSB vice chair Bella Dinh-Zarr says investigators recovered some of the wreckage, and the recorder contained 30 minutes of poor-quality audio.

Dinh-Zarr says both pilots had the Federal Aviation Administration's highest level of certification.
