Here we go again.
That will be followed
IF the CVR is found by groups of 'experts' trying to work out '
what that sound is'.
The entire area of system recording and safeguarding needs a reappraisal. Not starting from minor evolutionary changes to DFDR/CVR, but from a systems analysis of what information is required. ICAO should also look at the arrangements for assigning costs for recovery so an airline/air carrier is also hit for the costs of recovery if they only use the minimum legal system recording capabilities. Similarly misuse of system recordings by airline management and news organizations, should be a criminal offense when those recordings are intended for emergency/post crash analysis use, (it probably is already an offense under some data protection and privacy laws in any case).
