Blackbox recording

The blackbox recording is a holotape

Location
The holotape can be found in a "black box" at the jet crash site.

Behind the scenes
The pilot in the blackbox recording uses military and general aviation terminology to describe their situation:
 * "Low on state" means they were low on fuel.
 * "State one plus one zero to splash" is fuel left for 1 hour and 10 minutes until they would be forced to crash-land.
 * An "INS pinger" is a device which broadcasts the inertial navigation system position of a crash landing.
 * A "cherub" is used to describe altitudes below 1,000 feet, measured in hundreds of feet. Meaning that the craft descended from 800 to 500 feet ("eight cherubs" to "five cherubs.")
 * "Three green" means that the landing gear was correctly deployed.
 * "Four lights" means that all four glide path lights were in view and showing the correct color.
 * "Prepping to pull the loud handle" means the pilot was about to use his ejection seat.
