On: Jeju Air jet black boxes stopped recording before ...

I’ve studied this in older aircraft, and no that was possible because it was recorded directly to tape that records over itself in a loop.

I’m not sure if that’s still true on newer planes.

There was a case where a black box tape recorder missed the last 6 minutes
