Plane that crashed in Maine spent more time on runway than typical after de-icing, NTSB says
- On Friday, the National Transportation Safety Board released a preliminary report into the Jan. 25 crash at Bangor International Airport that killed all six on board.
- Crews began deicing just before 7:20 p.m., finishing just after 7:30 p.m., and the plane sat nearly 5 minutes before taxiing, taking off 14 minutes after deicing—exceeding FAA holdover-time charts.
- Flight data and recordings show both engines produced takeoff power until the recorder stopped, with no flight-control malfunctions, while security cameras captured the plane lifting, rolling, then crashing with explosions.
- The NTSB warns the final report could take up to two years, with ongoing work covering aircraft operations, flight recorders, airport operations, survival factors, and human performance, and the preliminary report offers facts but no probable cause.
- The Bangor Airport Director Jose Saavedra acknowledged that weather affected many operations earlier this year, while records show the Bombardier Challenger 600 carries a federal warning from the FAA 2008 directive.
