The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is suggesting a new requirement for all existing aircraft to be retrofitted with cockpit voice recorders (CVR) capable of recording 25 hours. On Tuesday, the agency called on the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to impose its proposed policy.
The move comes after last month’s Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 door blowout incident and the subsequent aftermath that included grounding the jets. During the investigation of the incident, officials could not access audio from the aircraft’s voice recorder because it was “overwritten.”
