NTSB Calls for 25-hour CVRs
According to the Safety Board, recent safety investigations have been hampered because relevant portions of the recordings were overwritten.

As a result of its investigations into multiple business and commercial airplane accidents and incidents over the last two decades, the NTSB is recommending cockpit voice recorders (CVR) with a minimum of 25 hours of recording capability. The Safety Board asked the FAA to mandate the new CVRs on all newly manufactured aircraft, as well as a retrofit on current aircraft, for which a CVR is already required by Jan. 1, 2024.
