The plane used for this flight was a De Havilland DH-114 Heron B2 airplane, registration number #N554PR. Eighteen passengers and a crew of two were on board. As the plane first approached Ponce's airport, the pilots decided to abort their initial landing attempt. The crew did not give the control tower any explanation as to why they took that decision; in fact, no reason for this aborted maneuver was ever discovered. During their second attempt at landing the pilot over-rotated the plane, causing it to crash and killing three passengers and both people in the cockpit. FAA and NTSB investigators concluded that the crash of Prinair flight 191 was caused by pilot error. SEE ALSO |
