Investigators recover the voice recorder from a jet crash in Florida that killed 9

Investigators recovered the cockpit voice recorder from a Learjet 60 involved in a fatal crash in Greenacres, Florida, according to coverage compiled from multiple outlets. The aircraft carried nine people, all of whom were killed, and the crash occurred amid severe weather, with authorities stating that the on-scene recovery efforts were part of an ongoing National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigation.

The Palm Beach Post confirms that the Learjet 60 was the aircraft involved and that the NTSB leads the multi-agency investigation into the incident, which resulted in nine fatalities on board. The outlet notes that the recovered cockpit voice recorder originates from the Learjet involved in the Greenacres crash, framing the CVR recovery as a key element within the broader NTSB inquiry.

WPEC reports that the NTSB has recovered the cockpit voice recorder from the Learjet 60 crash near Greenacres and that the nine onboard fatalities are confirmed by the NTSB roster. The report identifies Nathalia Filguerias, a 20-year-old co-pilot who reportedly earned a pilot’s license at 17, as part of the listed victims, along with eight other individuals named with ages in the roster.

Sun Sentinel states that the NTSB recovered the cockpit voice recorder from the Learjet 60 that crashed in Greenacres on November 1, 2026, and that the CVR is being examined at the NTSB Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C. The article reiterates that the recovery is part of the on-site phase of the investigation and references the crash date and location in its framing.

Simple Flying summarizes that the on-scene phase of the investigation has concluded, with the CVR recovered from the initial impact area and now undergoing analysis at the NTSB’s Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C. The outlet reiterates that the Learjet 60 carried nine people who were all killed, and that debris recovery and site work were ongoing as the investigation progressed to the next stages.

KTLA provides victim detail reporting, noting Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, a 20-year-old co-pilot with a pilot’s license earned at 17, among the nine fatalities. The report mentions that the Learjet departed Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas for North Eleuthera in the Bahamas before the crash, and that a post-crash fire and a broad debris field were observed at the scene. It also notes that debris from the tail elevator was found miles from the main impact site, complicating recovery operations.

KETV contributes to the debris-recovery detail, stating that the NTSB has completed on-scene work outside the excavation area and has recovered and identified multiple portions of the aircraft. Reported recoveries include pieces from both wings and both engines, as well as items from the flight deck, vertical stabilizer, horizontal stabilizer, left elevator, and segments of the ailerons and flap tracks. Some recovered components have been sent to the NTSB laboratories in Washington, D.C., for closer inspection, and the agency urged the public to avoid handling debris and to submit photos to assist recovery efforts.
