Type: Boeing 747

Operator: TRANSWORLD AIRWAYS (D.B.A. TWA)
Where: EAST MORICHES, NY, USA


Cockpit Voice Recorder:   17th July 1996

DETAILS OF INVESTIGATION

The CVR unit arrived in the lab in a large cooler
still submerged in water. The exterior of the CVR was
extremely dented and distorted. The front panel of the
CVR was ripped from the unit and was only being held on
by the underwater locating beacon mount. The normal
carrying handle was missing. The data plate that is
normally attached to the front panel was also missing
and never recovered.
The protective dust cover had to be cut in several
places before it could be removed. The interior crash
enclosure appeared to be in good condition. There
were only a few minor scratches and dents noted. The
interior tape reel assembly was wet. Several small
thin plastic reel pieces were broken off and were found
loose inside of the enclosure. The recording media was
wet but otherwise appeared to be in good condition.
The tape was not broken or physically damaged from the
accident. There were no signs of any fire or heat
damage noted to either the exterior or the interior of
the unit. The Dukane underwater locator beacon that 4
was installed on the CVR was slightly dented and
scratched but operated normally when tested in the
lab.

The recording consisted of four channels of good
quality audio information. One channel contained the
cockpit area microphone audio information. The other
three channels contained the Captain's, the First
Officer's, and the Second Officer's radio/intercom
information.
The recording starts at 1959:40 EDT and continues
uninterrupted until 2031:12 EDT when electrical power
was removed from the unit. When the recording starts,
the Kennedy gate agent is in the cockpit telling the
crew that they are ready for departure. The aircraft's
door is closed and the crew request push-back from the
gate at 2001:42 EDT. During the push-back and before
taxi the crew starts the number 1,2,and 4 engines. The
flight contacts ground control at 2008:13 EDT and
requests taxi clearance. During the taxi the crew
starts the number 3 engine at 2014:29 EDT. The flight
is cleared for takeoff on runway 22 right at Kennedy at
2018:21 EDT.
The takeoff and climb appear normal. The flight
contacts Kennedy departure control at 2020:14 EDT.
They are subsequently turned over to Boston Center at
2023:37 EDT. Boston Center instructs the crew to
continue their climb and maintain fifteen thousand feet
at 2030:15 EDT. The acknowledgment of this
transmission at 2030:19.2 EDT is the last radio
transmission received from the aircraft. The recording
stopped at 2031:12 EDT.
