Crash investigator urges stall training for pilots 

WASHINGTON - A federal crash investigator urged a conference of aviation safety officials Tuesday to better train pilots to avoid stubborn problems such as stalls.

Earl Weener, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board, recalled four separate fatal crashes over the past two decades that he said involved stalls, with pilots basically pulling the plane's nose up too much until the aircraft fell to the ground.

"The question in my mind is why did the crew continue to pull back on the elevator all the way to the ground," Weener told about 300 people attending the Flight Safety Foundation's International Aviation Safety Summit, rather than leveling off to regain power and speed.

Lack of training is feared to be one culprit.
