"NTSB Investigates Erasure of Cockpit Recordings in Alaska Airlines Blowout Incident"

The investigation into the Alaska Airlines flight incident involving a Boeing 737 Max 9 has been hindered by the plane's cockpit voice recorder overwriting itself before it could be retrieved. The National Transportation Safety Board has long recommended extending the recording time to 25 hours, but the Federal Aviation Administration has been hesitant due to cost concerns. The chairwoman of the safety board emphasized the importance of the cockpit voice recorder in reconstructing events leading up to accidents and improving safety.

"Boeing 737 Max 9 Incidents: Loose Hardware and Mid-Flight Drama Plague United and Alaska Airlines"

Both Alaska and United airlines have found problems with door plugs on their Boeing 737 Max 9 jets after an "explosive" blowout of the same piece of fuselage on an Alaska flight. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident, which involved a door plug becoming dislodged due to loose hardware. The cockpit voice recorder from the flight was erased, hindering the investigation. European airlines continue to fly Boeing 737 Max 9s, while U.S. airlines have grounded their planes. This incident raises concerns about the safety of the aircraft and the need for improved recording capabilities.

"Alaska Airlines Plane Part Found in Portland as New Details Emerge"

The missing part of an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 fuselage door plug, which blew off mid-flight, has been found in a Portland, Oregon yard. The NTSB is investigating the harrowing incident, which led to a nationwide grounding of certain Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft. The investigation is complicated by the loss of critical cockpit audio recordings and previous warnings about the plane's pressurization. The airline had restricted the aircraft from flying over the ocean due to prior auto pressurization fail lights, and the cockpit voice recorder was overwritten. The NTSB is calling for 25-hour cockpit voice recordings in all aircraft for safety.

"Alaska Airlines Safety Debate: Cockpit Voice Recorder Data Loss Sparks Controversy"

The cockpit voice recorder data from the Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9, which lost a panel mid-flight, was overwritten, sparking debate over extending recording time. The NTSB is urging the FAA to adopt the 25-hour recording standard, citing safety benefits, while the FAA has raised concerns about cost and privacy implications. The issue has gained urgency following near miss incidents, with the NTSB highlighting 10 investigations since 2018 where the cockpit voice recorder data was overwritten.

"Alaska Airlines: Cockpit Audio Loss and Safety Debate Renewed"

The cockpit voice recorder from the Alaska Airlines flight that made an emergency landing in Portland was erased, hindering the investigation into the midair incident where a door plug blew off. The NTSB chief expressed frustration over the loss of crucial audio and called for longer recording times. The plane had been restricted from long flights over water due to a recurring warning light, and the door plug was found by a Portland teacher. Both Alaska and United Airlines have grounded their Boeing 737-9 Max aircraft for inspection, while investigators continue to search for clues to determine the cause of the incident.

"Alaska Airlines Plane Debris Found in Oregon Backyard, NTSB Investigates"

The missing door plug from the Alaska Airlines plane that detached midflight has been found in a Portland-area resident's backyard, providing a crucial piece of evidence for the NTSB investigation. The cockpit voice recorder's data was inadvertently taped over, complicating the probe, and the NTSB is calling for an expansion of the minimum recording time on such devices. Investigators are focusing on how the door plug was fastened and whether there were any failures related to it, while also examining air pressurization alerts that occurred prior to the accident.

FAA suggests extending cockpit voice recorder duration to 25 hours.

The FAA has proposed extending the cockpit voice recorder requirement from two hours to 25 hours, which could take multiple years to implement. The change would allow investigators to hear what happened for a longer period of time and could make flying safer. However, the proposal is likely to face pushback from pilot unions who want more privacy protections regarding the recordings potentially being released to the public.

FAA suggests 25-hour cockpit voice recording time.

The FAA is proposing a new rule that would require cockpit voice recorders to capture 25 hours of information, up from the current two hours. The National Transportation Safety Board has recommended this standard after several incidents where investigators were unable to listen to key audio due to limited memory. The FAA held an emergency safety summit following a series of near-collisions on US runways and will establish an Aviation Rulemaking Committee to explore how to make greater use of data gathered by the airplane and its systems.
