NTSB To Meet On UPS Flight 1354 Accident

Will Also Consider A Safety Study On Drug Use In Aviation 

The NTSB has set a meeting in which it will determine the probable cause of the Aug. 14, 2013, crash of UPS Airlines Flight 1354 on approach to Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport in Birmingham, AL.

The Airbus A300-600 went down short of runway 18 during a localizer non-precision approach. The captain and first officer were fatally injured and the airplane was destroyed.

Immediately following the board’s consideration of the UPS accident, the board will consider the findings of a safety study on drug use trends in aviation. The NTSB study will examine trends in over-the-counter, prescription and illicit drug use documented from toxicology reports of pilots that died in plane crashes in the United States from 1990-2012.

The board meeting will be held Tuesday, September 9, 2014, at 0930 EDT in the NTSB Board Room and Conference Center at 429 L’Enfant Plaza, SW Washington, DC.
