Global Aviation News Article
November 14, 2004
Canadian
Press NewsWire, "Crashed jet not overloaded,
probe shifts to engines"
Investigators
in the fatal crash of a massive cargo jet near Halifax have
virtually ruled out overloading as the cause and are instead
probing the mystery of why the engines were underpowered
at takeoff.
Bill Fowler, lead
investigator with the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, told The Canadian
Press the flight data recorder shows the MK Airlines 747 jet's weight at takeoff
was "fairly close to" 352,400 kilograms.
That was the maximum
the plane was allowed to weigh for the runway at Halifax International Airport
on Oct. 14.
