NTSB investigators painted a picture of a flight beset by incorrect calculations, missed signals and miscommunication between the two pilots and air traffic controllers at Teterboro. The co-pilot had had multiple difficulties during training and was designated by Trans-Pacific Jets to perform flight monitoring. “The pilot had to extensively coach the co-pilot, while performing his own responsibilities,” Sumwalt said. “He did neither well, and both pilots lacked situational awareness.”The NTSB faulted Trans-Pacific for inadequate safety monitoring of its operations. “Somebody needed to get together before they even started the engines and talk about this,” NTSB investigator David Lawrence said Tuesday.
