The alert system of the plane that crashed at Toronto’s Pearson airport last month indicated a rapid descent rate less than three seconds before touchdown, a preliminary report into the crash has found.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) issued its report on March 20 as part of its ongoing investigation into the Feb. 17 crash landing during which the Delta Air Lines plane arriving from Minneapolis caught fire before overturning on the runway.
