Associated
Press, "American Airlines pilots want Airbus
planes grounded during crash probe"
Some
pilots say Airbus A300 jets should be grounded until investigators
learn why American Airlines Flight 587 crashed in New York
last November. An Airbus A300-600
plunged to the ground Nov. 12 shortly after taking off from Kennedy Airport,
killing 265 people. The tail fell off
the plane before the crash.
The National Transportation
Safety Board is investigating, and pilots don't know whether some unseen defect
in the plane's tail caused the crash.
More than 70 pilots
have signed a statement saying there is no way to adequately inspect the Airbus
tails, which are made of a nonmetallic composite material. There are no procedures
for using ultrasound or another method to look inside the composite.
