BTW, I asked above whether the A320 CVR remains powered after dual engine failure, either by the RAT or by some other battery power. I know that this was under discussion by Airbus, the FAA, CAA etc etc in 2018. But I'm not sure what was decided and what actually implemented, for what a/c. It's therefore possible that both the FDR and CVR went down on engine failure, and that the last couple of minutes of the flight was unrecorded. Anyone know differently?
The report explicitly states the recording stopped, per design.
