Ajit Pawar crash: AAIB seeks foreign help with Learjet’s black box

The AAIB has sought US assistance to recover data from the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) of the Learjet that crashed in Baramati, killing Ajit Pawar and four others. The CVR was severely damaged by heat, and while flight data was retrieved, CVR data remains inaccessible. Pilots reportedly failed to spot the runway during their first landing attempt and made no mayday call before the crash.
