(TNS) Federal aviation safety officials said Thursday they are looking at the full maintenance history of a UPS cargo plane that crashed Tuesday in Louisville, killing 12 people.
National Transportation Safety Board Member Todd Inman said that review includes more than 6 weeks of heavy maintenance overhaul done in September and October. The maintenance review is part of a broader investigation to determine what caused the McConnell Douglas MD-11 plane to crash. UPS is providing all maintenance records for the plane, he said.
“We are currently downloading that information,” Inman said during a press conference in Louisville.
The group will also go back and get the full history of what maintenance and checks were done on the aircraft, he said.
