It is the first time the voice recorder contents from the Lion Air flight have been made public. 4:49A Lion Air spokesperson said all data and information had been given to investigators and declined to comment further. Since the Lion Air crash, Boeing has been pursuing a software upgrade to change how much authority is given to the Manoeuvring Characteristics Augmentation System, or MCAS, a new anti-stall system developed for the 737 Max 8. The cause of the Lion Air crash has not been determined, but the preliminary report mentioned the Boeing system, a faulty, recently replaced sensor and the airline's maintenance and training.
