Pilot errors preceded US Airways flight 1702 crash: NTSB Report

National Transportation Safety Board documents confirm that pilots of US Airways flight 1702 failed to enter required takeoff information into the aircraft's flight computer prior to a March 2014 crash in Philadelphia.

The documents, released in recent weeks, also show that the carrier has since updated its pilot handbook to address issues highlighted by the safety regulator.

The documents include only factual reports, and not a finding of probable cause, which will be included in the NTSB's final report.

The pilots of the aircraft, an Airbus A320 registered N113UW, performed a high-speed rejected takeoff at about 18:30 local time, causing the nose gear to collapse.

The aircraft skidded to a stop along the runway, and passengers exited via emergency slides, notes the NTSB.

None of the 149 passengers or five crew sustained injuries, according to the NTSB. However, at least one passenger filed a suit against the carrier seeking damages for a shoulder injury.
