NTSB Opens Public Docket For Investigation Of Atlas Air Flight 3591 Accident

Plane Went Down February 23 Into Trinity Bay In Texas

The NTSB has opened the public docket as part of its ongoing investigation of the Feb. 23, 2019, Atlas Air flight 3591 crash into Trinity Bay, Texas.

The accident occurred when a Boeing 767-300 Atlas Air cargo jet entered a rapid descent from 6,200 feet and impacted a marshy bay area about 40 miles from Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport. The two pilots and one non-revenue jumpseat pilot were fatally injured. The airplane was destroyed.  The airplane was carrying cargo from Miami to Houston for Amazon.com Inc., and the US Postal Service.

The docket includes more than 3,000 pages of factual reports that cover various aspects of the investigation, including operations, survival factors, human performance, air traffic control, aircraft performance, and includes the cockpit voice recorder transcript, sound spectrum study,  and the flight data recorder information.  The docket also includes interview transcripts, photographs, and other investigative materials.

The docket contains only factual information collected by NTSB investigators; it does not provide the final report, analysis, findings, recommendations, or probable cause determinations. No conclusions about how or why the crash occurred should be drawn from the information within the docket. Analysis, findings, recommendations, and probable cause determinations related to the crash will be issued by the NTSB in a final report at a later date.
