(Bloomberg) -- Investigators of the private-jet crash that killed billionaire Lewis Katz discovered that the sports mogul's personal pilots almost never performed the required pre-flight safety checks when shuttling their boss around the country.
There were only two occasions out of the last 176 trips of Katz's Gulfstream IV in which the pilots bothered to fully test the flight controls before takeoffs, according to preliminary reports released Wednesday by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board.
