National Transportation Safety Board investigators have recovered the cockpit voice recorder from the Learjet 60 that crashed Nov. 1 near Greenacres, killing all nine people aboard.

The recorder was found at the site of initial impact on Military Trail. It is now being evaluated at the NTSB Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C. Officials confirmed that excavation work at the impact site has been completed.
