Buffalo Commuter Plane Crash
Thursday, May 14, 2009 at 03:54PM Pilot training and fatigue were the focus of an unusual public hearing on Tuesday into safety issues raised by
the February crash of an airliner near Buffalo, N.Y., that killed 50 people. The National Transportation Safety Board's investigation has found that the pilot of the Dash 8-Q400 Bombardier, a twin-engine turboprop, didn't received hands-on training on a critical safety system aboard the aircraft. Pilot fatigue may have also played a part in the crash.
