The overwrite of the CVR is a gem. Malpractice by both pilots and managers in this regard needs some serious attention and penalties by authorities, including those well North of Nigeria.

I think the referred to IMC conditions means something less than VMC and short of being in cloud. Or they would all be dead.
Thanks, but I was trying to understand how the FDR would receive AHRS data if they had been powered off and were rebooting when power came back?
