Overview
- The public docket includes surveillance footage, cockpit audio transcripts, and a performance study detailing the March 8, 2024 incident at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
- An NTSB performance study indicates the 737-8 MAX did not decelerate sufficiently after touchdown as speed brakes retracted, automatic brakes disengaged, and reverse thrust was later reduced.
- Surveillance video shows the aircraft sliding into the grass, where the left main landing gear departed the pavement, struck a recessed concrete structure, and separated.
- Cockpit audio captures Captain Alireza Johartchi apologizing and expressing shock and concern about disciplinary action and social media, while First Officer Michael Dickson told investigators he had not felt uncomfortable with the captain’s decisions.
- About 160 passengers deplaned with no reported injuries after the Memphis-to-Houston flight, and the NTSB says the investigation remains open with no cause determined.
