Officials will examine flight data and physical evidence to establish the sequence of events and identify safety recommendations.
The NTSB says the captain of a Delta Air Lines regional jet involved in last month’s collision at a LaGuardia taxiway intersection told investigators he did not recall hearing instructions to yield to another aircraft — a key detail investigators will use to reconstruct ground communications and human factors.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau's final report found the pilot of an Airbus H120 involved in an accident had not flown that type for almost 15 years. The ATSB linked the extended lack of recency to an uncommanded‑yaw event that precipitated the crash.
Canada’s Transportation Safety Board is investigating after a Buffalo Airways Boeing 737-200 experienced an uncommanded nose-gear deployment while climbing through about 5,000 ft out of Goose Lake on 20 October en route to Yellowknife; the nose gear collapsed during the subsequent landing.
A federal jury in Chicago began the first U.S. civil trial over the 2019 Ethiopian Airlines Flight ET302 737 MAX crash, with jurors set to decide damages for families of two victims. Boeing has reached settlements in multiple related lawsuits as other claims continue to move through U.S. courts.
Surveillance footage shows a left-wing fire after an engine separated during the takeoff roll of UPS flight 5X2976, an MD-11F bound for Honolulu.
