Hi Martin 1234,
Sorry to interrupt, guys, but I think PPRuNe Towers is referring to the July 2002 accident at Tallahassee, Florida where a FedEx Cargo 727 got too low on short finals at night and collided with trees, resulting in the AC being severely damaged and the crew seriously injured.
The NTSB cites a number of factors in reaching its conclusions but of significance for CVD pilots are their recommendations regarding colour vision testing, although, as has been stated in the medical forum on colour blindness, the FAA does not have to act on these recommendations and apparently often tend not to do so.
If you go to
www.ntsb.gov , click on Accident Reports in the Data & Information Products section, select Most Recent Accidents the summary is top of the list.
Best Regards,
