'Airspeed, Airspeed:' Transcript Of Teterboro Crash Released

TETERBORO, NJ — The crew of the LearJet that crashed short of the runway at Teterboro Airport last year stressed airspeed and knew something was wrong mere seconds before the crash occurred.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released hundreds of pages of documents this week, including what the cockpit voice recorder captured throughout the flight.

Jeffrey Alino, 33, of Union, was the co-pilot and William Ramsey, 56, of Salt Lake City, Utah, was the pilot.

"Airspeed, airspeed, airspeed," Alino yelled a few seconds before the plane crashed after which Ramsey said "stall."

Alino and Ramsey had what appears to be a discussion about who was controlling the plane seconds before it crashed, a transcript of the recording states.

Alino: "I'm gonna give ya your controls okay?"

Ramsey: "Alright, my controls."

Alino: "Your flight controls."

Ramsey: "[Expletive] eh."

A few seconds later, and just a few seconds before the plane crashed, Alino said "lookin' good."

The NTSB found no drugs in either Alino or Ramsey and the voice recorder does not indicate that anything went wrong with the plane while it was on approach to Teterboro.

Winds that day were gusting to as much as 35 miles per hour, something Alino and Ramsey spoke about on their approach to the airport.

An air-traffic controller reported that he saw the plane bank hard to the right and he could see the belly of the plane and the wings "almost perpendicular to the ground," a preliminary report on the crash released last year stated.

One security camera showed the plane nose down when it crashed, according to the report.

It was Alino's and Ramsey's third flight of the day. The first departed Teterboro at about 7:30 a.m. and landed at Laurence G. Hanscom Field in Bedford, Massachusetts about 45 minutes later, the report states. They then refueled and took on a passenger before departing for Philadelphia shortly after 10 a.m. and landing an hour later.

Records released by the NTSB in the report stated that Ramsey had performed "thousands" of day and night landings.
