NTSB Gives Cause of Crash that Killed ICE Officer


Associated Press
       MORIARTY — The National Transportation Safety Board says a U.S. Customs and Border Protection instructor pilot's failure to maintain control of the aircraft during an aborted training flight landing contributed to a crash that killed an ICE officer.
    Julio E. Baray of El Paso, Texas, was killed in the Sept. 24 crash of a Cessna 210 near the Moriarty airport. The NTSB said an autopsy report listed the cause of death as blunt force injuries to the head.
    Neither the customs agency nor the NTSB released the name of the instructor pilot, who was injured in the crash. The NTSB said that during interviews, he told investigators he could not remember the flight or the previous several days.
    Witnesses say the plane had been practicing takeoffs and landings just before the crash. Officials said it went off the runway and caught fire.
    The NTSB, in a report Monday on the probable cause of the crash, said the instructor pilot's failure to maintain control during the aborted landing and an attempted go-around resulted in a stall and the plane went down. The NTSB also cited the instructor pilot's inadequate supervision during landing.
