Plane parts found as far as 3.8 miles from crash site in South Florida, NTSB official says
Investigators are analyzing the recorder as they examine whether severe weather and a possible tail failure contributed to the crash that killed nine people.
- On Tuesday, NTSB member Tom Chapman confirmed that tail components, including the left elevator, were recovered up to 3.8 miles from the crash site, indicating the Learjet 60 began breaking apart before impact.
- The Bahamas-bound Learjet 60 departed Austin, Texas, on November 1 before encountering severe weather; co-pilot Nathalia Filgueiras reported ice and "moderate turbulence" to air traffic controllers moments before the descent accelerated.
- Investigators recovered the cockpit voice recorder from the Greenacres crash site on Monday, November 9, transporting it to the NTSB Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C., for analysis of final transmissions.
- All nine people on board, including pilot Jeff Gregory and co-pilot Filgueiras, were killed; the explosion forced approximately 600 residents to evacuate from nearby homes in Greenacres.
- A preliminary NTSB report is expected within 30 days, though determining the probable cause will likely take more than a year due to the investigation's complexity and the aircraft's near-total destruction.
