Probe finds no mechanical trouble on errant go! flight
Associated Press
A National Transportation Safety Board preliminary report says a go! airlines flight that overshot Hilo International Airport by 15 miles this month had no mechanical problems.
The report draws no conclusions about why the plane overshot the airport.
The NTSB says the plane's pressurization system did not malfunction. There also was no sign of carbon monoxide in the plane.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating whether the pilots were sleeping on the Feb. 13 flight from Honolulu to Hilo.
The plane drifted off course during the 214-mile trip and had to turn back to get to the Hilo airport. The flight landed safely.
Air traffic controllers tracking the plane by radar were unable to contact the cockpit for 25 minutes.
