Hawaii (KITV) The Boeing 737-200 cargo plane operated by Transair that made an emergency water landing off the coast of western Oahu had only two people onboard and luckily no fatalities, but NTSB is treating this with the same gravity as if it was a passenger plane.
They are sending in specialists.. their so called “Go Team”.. who will try to find out what caused the engine failure. The Hawaii Department of Transportation telling ABC News both engines failed. Aviation experts say that’s extremely rare.
“This is a Boeing 737-200. This is an old airplane, it’s nearly 45-years-old,” said Tom Haueter, ABC News consultant and former NTSB Director of the Office of Aviation Safety. “The airplane should have been capable of coming back and landing on just one engine. So, there’s a lot of unknowns here.”

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) met April 6, 2021, to select the items for the agency’s 2021–2022 Most Wanted List of Transportation Safety Improvements. Two of the 10 items on the list would affect the rotorcraft industry:
• From the NTSB Office of Aviation Safety, the recommendation is to “Require and Verify the Effectiveness of Safety Management Systems (SMS) in All Revenue Passenger-Carrying Aviation Operations”
• From the NTSB Office of Research and Engineering, the recommendation is to “Install Crash-Resistant Recorders and Establish Flight Data Monitoring Programs.”
HAI is grateful to the directors and staff of the NTSB for their continued efforts to improve US transportation safety,” says James Viola, president and CEO of HAI. “We agree and support their recommendation to require SMS programs for all passenger-carrying operations, and encourage the use of recorders and flight-data monitoring (FDM) programs.” HAI
