The NTSB has been begging the FAA for years to do more to ensure cockpit voice recorder data is available following incidents. Today the FAA suggested airlines should consider it. Not required. Just suggested. 🙄 #avgeek www.faa.gov/other_visit/...
Subject: Data Preservation for Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR).
Purpose: This SAFO provides safety information to operators that have CVRs installed on their aircraft.
Background: On January 5, 2024, a B-737-9 operated by Alaska Airlines experienced an in-flight 
separation of the left mid exit door (MED) plug and rapid depressurization during climb after takeoff from 
Portland International Airport. One flight attendant and seven passengers received minor injuries; the 
captain, the first officer, three flight attendants, and 164 passengers were uninjured; and the airplane 
sustained substantial damage.
Discussion: The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigated the accident and, on July 10, 
2025, proposed a number of safety recommendations (A-25-025) to the Federal Aviation Administration 
(FAA). The NTSB concluded that Alaska Airlines’ procedures at the time of the accident were ineffective 
in ensuring that the CVR data from the accident flight were preserved, resulting in the loss of critical 
information for the investigationAmong the recommendations is one for FAA to require operators of airplanes equipped with a CVR to 
incorporate guidance into company standard operating procedures, emergency protocols, and post-
incident and post-accident checklists. These materials would apply to both flightcrew and non-flightcrew 
personnel and would detail actions to preserve CVR recordings as soon as practical after completion of a 
flight with a reportable event.
Recommended Action: The FAA recommends that each operator who has a CVR installed confirm that 
company manuals contain instructions that the CVR circuit breaker be pulled after a reportable event. The 
instruction that the CVR circuit breaker is pulled could be included in flight operation manuals, 
maintenance manuals, and dispatch manuals, increasing the likelihood that the task is accomplished.
