Source? I know nothing about this, but Wikipedia says:

"Most FDRs record approximately 17–25 hours worth of data in a continuous loop."

EDIT: ah, it looks like you are talking about the cockpit voice recorder, which records 2 hours of data: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockpit_voice_recorder



Several sources, here's one: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/trafficandcommuting/mala...

Yeah - sorry I should have clarified voice recorder not the flight data recorder. Will edit.
