Confusion, faulty communication led to cargo plane crash off Hawaii, officials say.
- Cargo plane crashed into the ocean off Hawaii in 2021 due to pilots identifying the wrong failing engine and not having enough power to remain airborne.
- Captain's high workload and poor communication and teamwork between the two pilots also contributed to the accident.
- The captain was seriously injured, the co-pilot suffered minor injuries, and the plane was destroyed.
- The Pratt & Whitney engines were made in 1968 and 1971 and had last been in the maintenance shop in 2019.
- The Federal Aviation Administration suspended Rhoades Aviation flights after the accident.
