    Bloke in video mentions lead aircraft, is it true the lead aircraft paired with the Herc considered the conditions too dangerous to fly and the Herc went without lead aircraft?

    Depending on the install, for example the Dash 8 - you press the test button where the cockpit area mike is, and you get a couple of flashes of an LED if it's working. On earlier models there was an analogue gauge like an audio meter that would flick quickly full scale twice to indicate a successful test.

    On my current type, it's the same as the Dash 8.

    During the preflight, an FDR that fails to test is considered a no-go item, but can be MEL'd for a short period of time (with limitations).
    EDIT: The CVR panel in the plane I’m flying today. VH-YFV B737-800 about 2 years old

    Bloke in the video, with some experience on type, doesn't know either.

    Lots still to come out about this. It's only been weeks.
