WKBT La Crosse, WI-NewsChannel 8-Recordings from Northwest Airlines flight that overshot Minneapolis Airport released
Member Center:
(AP)- New transcripts from the Northwest Airlines flight that overflew Minneapolis show air traffic controllers asking the crew about what happened, and whether they had enough fuel.
The Federal Aviation Administration released the transcripts of the flight, which missed Minneapolis and flew over Wisconsin before the pilots realized they were out of contact and landed safely.
The transcript shows one of the pilots on Northwest Flight 188 telling controllers that they had been distracted because they were dealing with company issues. That came after controllers asked them to elaborate on the distraction.
Controllers also asked about fuel. The pilot on the plane responded that they had about two hours of fuel left.
