The first maintenance technician told the second to go ahead and install the ignitors. “I saw him install the outboard ignitor,” the maintenance technician recalled later, adding that his colleague had then moved under the engine as if he were also installing the inboard ignitor. “I did not go back and check his work because I trust the work he does.” The first technician signed off on the paperwork, only to learn later that his colleague had not installed the inboard ignitor.</p> <h2>September–October 1996</h2> <p><a href="/amb/amb_sept-oct96.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Test Scores for Mechanical Ability and Concentration Appear to Be Valid Predictors of Inspection Performance</a> 24 pages. [PDF 108K]</p> <p>A worker’s mechanical aptitude and ability to concentrate can predict how well a nondestructive inspection (NDI) is performed. That was one finding of a study conducted under contract to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Civil Aeromedical Institute (CAMI). Specifically, the study concluded that the Bennett Mechanical Comprehension Test (BMCT) and some subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) could be useful in assessing candidates for NDI work.</p> <h2>July–August 1996</h2> <p><a href="/amb/amb_jul-aug96.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Uncontained Engine Fan-hub Failure Prompts U.S. National Transportation Safety Board Recommendations</a> 20 pages. [PDF 125K]</p> <p>On July 6, 1996, Delta Air Lines Flight 1288, a McDonnell Douglas MD-88, experienced an uncontained failure of the No. 1 (left) engine front compressor fan hub during takeoff at the Pensacola (Florida, U.S.) Regional Airport. The investigation<br /> of this accident is continuing, but information already gathered raises serious concerns that require immediate action by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).</p> <h2>May–June 1996</h2> <p><a href="/amb/amb_may-jun96.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. National Transportation Safety Board Issues “Urgent” Recommendations for Hazardous Cargo</a> 20 pages. [PDF 163K]</p> <p>On May 11, 1996, at about 1415 Eastern Daylight Time, a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32 crashed into the Everglades swamp shortly after takeoff from Miami (Florida, U.S.) International Airport. The airplane, N904VJ, was operated by ValuJet Airlines Inc. as ValuJet Flight 592. Both pilots, the three flight attendants, and all 105 passengers were killed. Before the accident, the flight crew reported to air traffic control that there was smoke in the cabin and cockpit. Visual meteorological conditions existed in the Miami area at the time of the takeoff. The destination of the flight was Hartsfield International Airport, Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.</p> <h2>March–April 1996</h2> <p><a href="/amb/amb_mar-apr96.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. FAA
