I write it down on my note every leg and even sometimes I still forget on day 3… lol
And you can’t look at the paperwork because at least 75% of the time they go by something else.

Investigators recover cockpit voice recorder from fatal Learjet crash site
Learjet crash leaves devastating aftermath
1:58
Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board have recovered a cockpit voice recorder from the primary crash site where a Learjet collided with a busy roadway in South Florida last week and killed all nine people on board.
Investigators were searching for the device as part of a larger search of the crash site to get more insight of what led the plane to crash in Palm Beach County, Florida, on November 1.
Investigators will now try and see if the recorder is working and if any audio was captured.
While the cockpit voice recorder is one of the many pieces of the larger puzzle in what happened, it could give valuable information of what happened in the last moments before the plane tumbled out of the sky.
Federal investigators continue sifting through the wreckage of the Learjet 60 crash on November 6, 2026 in Greenacres, Florida, following the November 1 crash that killed all nine people on board.

The cockpit voice recorder is being evaluated in the NTSB Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C., the NTSB said, adding the excavation work at the impact site is now complete.
Jennifer Homendy, chairwoman of the NTSB, had previously asked anyone who found or recovered debris from the crash to contact the agency so they could retrieve it. “Recovering all available wreckage is critical to the investigation and helping to determine the cause of the crash,” she said in a post on X.

“Unfortunately in this day and age where you can have 36 hours of 4k video stored on a chip smaller than your pinky nail, aviation cockpit voice recorders only record 17 seconds on a loop.”

I HAVE STRONG OPINIONS ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE LIGHTING
That's in surprisingly good condition for he impact and fire. Normally they look like this:
All the supporting electronics are in the tray and that cylinder is the pinger. Everything in the dome is basically a long-rated fire safe that should withstand thousands of g's.
The aircraft was made in 2004, so it should have the ProLine4 integrated avionics.
Edit: I wonder what the cherry picker is there for.

If you're having trouble sleeping tonight, CVRs are covered under FAA TSO-C123C.

Well in the case of the Philly Lear 55, the CVR was recovered but it was discovered to be useless (not working for years). Hopefully this one works.
I’m in my “why is this homeless person so chatty in the elevator. OH snap, he’s on my flight crew” phase of life
Well. Technically, some jets have CVRs that have literally days of data stored on them. I was talking to a mechanic that was changing one out that said he was there to secure the unit for something that happened weeks previous.
That’s all I know.

I look back at how hard I thought I worked to get here and *kaboom* self-respect fileted and put on the smoker. THIS was the floor?

To be fair, I have flown with a number of FA's that are technically homeless, and just crash in hotels between trips. It's such a weird life, that seems like it yields so little in return for so much effort. I appreciate what they do, but man, you couldn't pay me enough to do their jobs. Wish I understood it. The second they mention TFPs my eyes glaze over and my mind wanders off, cause I don't know that they are talking about. But they work really hard for them TFPs

I haven't had the uh "classic" F/A experience. The F/As we had at Omni...I wouldn't wish their lives on my worst enemy. We'd go to some base in Middle-Murca, stop in Shannon for gas. We cycle off, new pilots take over. The F/As stay on the airplane to somewhere in the sandbox, twelve or whatever hours off where they're liable to get groped or worse if they leave the hotel, then back to do it all again. Over and over again, the sun up and down like a yo-yo. No one wants that.
