NTSB Reports Cockpit Voice Recorder Still Missing from Deadly Virginia Cessna Plane Crash
The National Transportation Safety Board has released a 4-page preliminary report of the fatal crash of the Cessna 560 aircraft that flew unresponsive over Washington D.C and eventually crashed in Montebello, Virginia leaving four passengers onboard dead.
In the report, NTSB stated, “The airplane as of May 2023 was equipped with a cockpit voice recorder (CVR), however, at the time of this publication, a CVR had not been located.”
The missing CVR could hold key details on what happened in the minutes leading up to the aircraft crashing.
The CVR is considered one of the “black boxes” that the FAA requires for large commercial aircraft and some smaller private aircraft to have onboard.
Ultimately the NTSB’s report didn’t conclude what caused the pilot to go unresponsive and the investigation is still open.
