Indonesian researchers are starting to monitor more than two hours of talks on   
   the cockpit voice recorder of the Lion Air aircraft that crashed in the Java   
   Sea in October. They hope to unravel the cause of the worst aviation disaster   
   in the country in decades.   
       
   The National Transportation Safety Committee expects the transcription of the   
   124-minute recording to be completed by Tuesday, Nurcahyo Utomo, the chief   
   investigator at the agency, said Friday. The quality of the recordings of the   
   last flight that took less than 15 minutes is good, he said.   
       
   The researchers may need two to three months to analyze the recordings, in   
   combination with the findings of the flight data recorder that was recovered   
   in November. The Lion Air aircraft, a Boeing 737 MAX 8, crashed into the Java   
   sea shortly after take-off on 29 October. All 189 people on board were killed.
