This should leave the remaining sounds, including the pilots voices, easier to hear and understand.
This could take a day or two
Fortunately there is already ready-made sophisticated audio spectral editing software for this, e.g, Izotope RX4. It easily allows a skilled forensic analyst to null out specific spectral patterns such as alarms which obscure speech.
