I reviewed NTSB 830 again and surprisingly there is no requirement to immediately report this type of incident to the NTSB.
In this case, why didn't the captain act to prevent the CVR from being overwritten? If he called the tower, in request or own volition, clearly it was a significant incident. Earlier, it was stated the CAR 700 series requires action to preserve the CVR post serious incident.
