NTSB

The National Transportation Safety Board has issued new safety recommendations to Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration regarding evacuation slides.

The Bering Air flight that crashed last month in remote Alaska was more than 1,000 pounds overweight for the conditions, investigators said Wednesday.

He added that the Flexjet crew had a “decent amount of experience,” but a process to review their certificates is underway by the FAA.

One crew member sustained serious injuries, while 15 others on board the flight suffered minor injuries, according to investigators.

The National Transportation Safety Board said it is investigating an engine fire incident involving a FedEx Boeing 767-300F. T

The Boeing 737 MAX 9 – registered as N37560 – experienced a rejected takeoff and subsequent brake fire, resulting in substantial damage.

The agency’s chair says it is seeing “conflicting information in the data” regarding the helicopter’s altitude before the collision.

The crew reported receiving a No. 1 engine fire warning. They proceeded to shut down the engine and discharged one fire bottle, which extinguished the fire.

While the data remains preliminary, the NTSB said the aircraft was “beginning to increase its pitch.” This followed a “verbal reaction” from the crew.

Both devices were recovered from the PSA CRJ-700 jet, which collided with a Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River.
