The pilot of a Hawaii Air Ambulance plane that crashed Wednesday on Maui did not report any problems during the flight, company officials said yesterday.
But a preliminary report by the Federal Aviation Administration said the Cessna 414A lost engine power before crashing. The report also said the flight had been cleared for landing before the crash. The FAA did not release additional details of its investigation.
An FAA investigator was at the crash site yesterday, and an investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board was en route from California.
