Three pilots transporting Amazon Prime packages died in the crash in Trinity Bay, near Houston on February 23.
Aska, Blakely, and a third pilot for another airline, Sean Archuleta, who was at the rear of the cockpit, died in the crash which scattered debris and packages in the bay. The plane had been carrying Amazon Prime packages.
The documents released on Thursday did not say what exactly caused the crash, and the NTSB is expected to reach its conclusions in 2020, pending further investigations. However, the report did suggest that the pilot mistakenly thought the plane's nose was pointed too high and so jerked the jet down too steeply.Atlas, which is part of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings Inc, said it was co-operating with the investigation.
"We remain devastated by the loss of Flight 3591 that claimed the lives of two of our valued pilots and a colleague," the company said in the statement toThe publication reported that Aksa had a record of failing flight tests and may have lost his sense of direction in the clouds. However, the statement by Atlas emphasized that its training and workforce"meet or exceed all government safety standards.
