Excavation work at the impact site is finished, and the CVR is being evaluated in the NTSB Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C.
Among the victims identified is Nathalia Filguerias, 20, who was a co-pilot and had earned a pilot’s license at 17. The NTSB list includes eight other individuals whose names and ages were provided, describing a roster of family members and associates.
The NTSB notes that the CVR was recovered from the initial impact area and that excavation at the site has concluded. The bureau is conducting evaluations of the CVR at its Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C.
