## Summary

Investigators have recovered the cockpit voice recorder from a Learjet that crashed in Palm Beach county, Florida, on 1 November, killing all nine people aboard. If its data can be retrieved, it may help explain what the pilots said and how the aircraft lost control in severe weather.

The Bahamas-bound jet encountered turbulence and ice after apparently steering around a large storm and then heading towards a smaller, developing one. The co-pilot reported being thrown up and down by more than 700ft (213 metres), while pieces of the tail’s elevator were found more than a mile from the main impact site. The recorder is being assessed in a Washington laboratory; investigators have not confirmed whether it was damaged or working. A full NTSB investigation usually takes 12 to 18 months.
