Something perplexing me is the matter of BH "not having broken wrists" condusive to such an UCFIT accident, but no mention of the passenger who, is "recorded" as saying things that were recorded.
Was this recorded on the camera loaned to him, or was he holding an open mic on the PTT in the rear stick which would suggest a AsA recording?
I might be able to help here. Excuse me if my tech references are not 100% accurate. It was NOT a recorder on any camera loaned but on the open mic - there are two buttons on right side of throttle (which is left is on left side), top button is open air waves, bottom button is intercom to pilot. Nothing on the stick. See Yak cockpit layout:
