Abstract

Verbatim from NTSB Aircraft Accident Reports. Not paraphrased, not summarized.

American 1420 (MD-82) Little Rock AR, June 1, 1999 — 11 fatalities. Investigation of the rejected-landing / runway-overrun crash of American 1420 at Little Rock during thunderstorm. NTSB found crew fatigue, get-there-itis, weather-radar misuse, and absence of go-around discipline. Drove revisions to FAR 121 weather-deviation training + cockpit weather information systems.
