NTSB ERA25MA106 Learjet 55 Medevac Crash Investigation page:

NTSB investigators have recovered the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) of the Learjet 55 located at the initial impact site, at a depth of 8 feet.​ NTSB investigators also recovered the airplane's enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS), which could also contain flight data. Both components will be sent to the NTSB Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, DC for evaluation.

NTSB investigators have recovered both engines. Wreckage recovery continues. The wreckage will be sent to a secure location in Delaware for further examination.

NTSB investigators have obtained surveillance videos of the crash and numerous witness statements.

The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 129 air ambulance flight.

Preliminary ADS-B flight track data obtained from the Federal Aviation Administration revealed that the flight departed runway 24 at Northeast Philadelphia Airport (PNE), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, about 1806, with the intended destination of Springfield-Branson National Airport (SGF), Springfield, Missouri. The airplane proceeded to the southwest before it turned right slightly and then entered a gradual left turn. The airplane continued in the left turn and reached an altitude of 1,650 ft mean sea level (airport elevation was 119 ft). The track data ended at 1807, at 1,275 ft msl, and at 242 knots ground speed. The duration of the flight was
about 1 minute.

The airplane initially impacted a concrete sidewalk in a residential and commercial area. Security camera videos depicted a large explosion associated with the initial impact. The wreckage debris field was about 1,410 ft in length and 840 ft wide, oriented on a magnetic heading of about 150°. The airplane impacted a commercial sign during its descent, and the
calculated descent angle based on the height of the observed damage to the sign was about 22°.

The airplane was equipped with a cockpit voice recorder (CVR). The CVR was recovered from the initial impact crater under 8 ft of soil and debris and was sent to the NTSB Vehicle Recorders Laboratory, Washington, DC, for processing and readout. The recorder displayed significant impact-related damage as well as liquid ingress. After extensive repair and cleaning, the 30-minute-long tape-based recording medium was auditioned to determine its
contents. The CVR did not record the accident flight, and during the audition it was determined that the CVR had likely not been recording audio for several years.

The airplane also had an Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS). The EGPWS computer, which may contain flight data in its nonvolatile memory, was sent to the manufacturer for analysis.
