Reports of UPS Plane Crash in Birmingham
Getting preliminary reports of a UPS cargo plane crash in Birmingham, Alabama. (www.alabamas13.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Probably find out after the investigation is finished that both pilots were asleep at the controls. They would most likely be familiar with the approach into Birmingham being a regularly schedule flight and most likely their domicile airport.
Louisville is listed as the domicile for the a300 fleet.....this was probably their first stop of the day.
Probably gonna be their last. They had already done 2 places in IL I think and then came into SDF before leaving for BHM
Well, it wasn't their domicile. Sleepy, maybe; Complacent & tired, maybe; but asleep, no. There was voice activity on the CVR.
Its my understanding from reading these posts and others, that they probably would not have been too familiar with the approach into runway 18 and that the terrain wasn't flat on the approach.
My very deepest condolences to the families of the crews God bless
