NTSB Issues Terse Prelim On UPS A300 Accident

Single Paragraph Released By The Board

A terse preliminary report has been released by the NTSB for the accident August 14 which resulted in the fatal injury of two UPS pilots.

According to the report:

"On August, 14, 2013, at about 0447 central daylight time (CDT), United Parcel Service flight 1354, an Airbus A300-600, N155UP, crashed short of runway 18 while on approach to Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (KBHM), Birmingham, Alabama. The two flight crew members were fatally injured and the airplane was destroyed. The cargo flight was operating under 14 Code of Federal Regulation Part 121 supplemental and originated from Louisville International Airport, Louisville, Kentucky."

No further details are given.

Previous briefings from board members to the media have indicated that the crew received aural warnings concerning altitude and sink rate of the airplane prior to impact. The Board had also previously said that the airplane came through some trees before impacting the ground. Debris was scattered across a wide area near the airport, but no one on the ground was injured.
