The CVR [cockpit voice recorder] installed on SWR 111 [Swissair flight 111] employed a continuous-loop magnetic tape of 30 minutes duration. The earliest information on the SWR 111 CVR was recorded approximately 15 minutes before the unusual smell was noted by the crew. Crew conversations and cockpit sounds prior to the beginning of the CVR recording may have provided substantial insight into any initiating or precursor events that led to the accident. 2, record 1, English, - CVR%20recording

The "flight analyser, "precursor to the "black box" or flight data recorder, was developed on the 365. The original flight analysers recorded aircraft heading, speed and altitude, and United was the first airline to install the devices on its entire fleet. 2, record 2, English, - flight%20analyzer

The last two flights I have flown were both from KSEA to PANC (PO187) both of which ended the FSAcars session with an error message and no credit given. Now, for the same two flights, the flight analyzer can show me my flight profile. 1, record 2, English, - flight%20analyzer
