It is the first time the voice recorder contents from the Lion Air flight have been made public. A Lion Air spokesman 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. The report also did not include data from the cockpit voice recorder, which was not recovered from the ocean floor until January. On Wednesday, he declined to comment on the cockpit voice recorder contents, saying they had not been made public.
