What Happened
Prevention Should Not Wait For Final Crash Report
A veteran Bahamian aviation safety consultant is urging the industry to take immediate action to identify potential safety risks following the fatal Flamingo Air crash on July 10, which claimed 10 lives. Capt. Randy L. Butler argues that the industry should not wait for the final investigation report before examining existing information for potential safety risks. The preliminary report from the Aircraft Accident Investigation Authority provides factual information about the accident but has not yet determined a probable cause. According to the report, the aircraft was configured for landing before impact, with the nose and main landing gear and both flaps extended. The investigation is ongoing, and the AAIA has stressed that its preliminary report is subject to change. This was first reported by Unknown Source.
