NTSB: Pilot mistakes caused US Airways accident in Philadelphia
WASHINGTON - A US Airways crew whose nose-gear collapsed during an aborted takeoff in Philadelphia entered the wrong information into the flight computer and then reacted incorrectly to the mistake, federal investigators said Thursday.

The National Transportation Safety Board concluded that the incident March 13, 2014, resulted from the captain's decision to reject the takeoff until the Airbus A320 was going fast enough to fly and briefly became airborne.

The mistake came after the co-pilot had entered the wrong information into the plane's flight computer, which prompted an audio alarm in the cockpit and made the takeoff more difficult, the board found.

"This investigation ultimately reveals a crew that made decisions which resulted in minor injuries to passengers and substantial damage to what was otherwise a perfectly sound plane," board member Earl Weener said in a statement accompanying the board's findings.

The 149 passengers and five crew members on board flight 1702 to Fort Lauderdale had to leave by emergency slides.
