Air Crash Investigation - American 965
Project Overview
American 965 was on a normal approach to Cali International Airport at night time on December 20th, 1995. After being requested to change runways, the Captain erroneously deleted numerous waypoints from the flight management system. With an increased workload and not familiar with surrounding terrain. The plane turned off course and descended below a neighboring mountain. When commanded to turn back towards the runway the plane turned towards and crashed into the mountainous terrain.
