Nine Minutes and Twenty Seconds: What Would You Do?
This episode recounts the events of Atlantic Southeast Airlines Flight 529, which experienced a catastrophic propeller blade failure. It explores the human decisions and systemic gaps that led to a repaired blade being returned to service, and the harrowing choices faced by the crew in the final moments.
Aircraft: Embraer EMB-120 RT Brasilia
Flight: Atlantic Southeast Airlines Flight 529
Date: August 21, 1995
Route: Atlanta to Gulfport-Biloxi, Mississippi
Crew: 3
- A farmer discovered a propeller blade 35 miles from the crash site of ASA Flight 529, indicating it separated mid-flight.
- The blade had undergone ultrasonic inspection on May 19, 1994, was rejected due to a flaw, and sent for repair.
- Hamilton Standard incorrectly repaired the blade, which was then reinstalled on September 30, 1994, and returned to commercial service.
- The NTSB later determined Hamilton Standard's inspection and repair techniques were inadequate, and the FAA did not require recurring ultrasonic inspections for in-service blades.
- Captain Edwin Gannaway, First Officer Matthew Warmerdam, and Flight Attendant Robin Fech were the crew on the routine Monday morning flight.
