- Crash date: November 1, 2026
- Aircraft: Learjet 60
- Location: near Greenacres, Florida
- Operator: Aurora Aviation dba Upper Jet
- CVR recovered: November 9, 2026 update
The NTSB has recovered the cockpit voice recorder from the Learjet 60 that crashed near Greenacres, Florida, on November 1. The recorder was found at the initial impact site and taken to the agency’s Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C.
The agency also said excavation work at the impact site had been completed. Investigators had previously recovered parts of both wings, both engines, the flight deck, tail surfaces and flap-track assemblies. The aircraft was operated by Aurora Aviation, doing business as Upper Jet, on a route from Austin, Texas, to North Eleuthera in the Bahamas.
For business aviation, the next phase will be about facts rather than speculation. The CVR can help investigators understand cockpit communications, alarms and crew actions before radar and radio contact were lost. A final probable-cause report will usually take much longer, but the recorder is a key step.
