Safety record

Accident & incident history

2006-09-05 Accident · San Juan, PR Damage: Substantial NTSB · DCA06FA068
Reported aircraft: Boeing B757-232 — a different aircraft that carried the N622DL registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: the first officer's inadvertent application of full nose-up trim during a prolonged flare, resulting in an excessive pitch angle during landing and subsequent tailstrike. Contributing to the accident was the flight crew's failure to correct the airplane's drift from the centerline approach course during short final approach, leading to the prolonged flare, and their improper decision to perform a practice autoland approach using a restricted procedure.
1996-02-20 Accident · Fairbanks, AK Damage: Minor NTSB · ANC96LA026A
Reported aircraft: Boeing 757-232 — a different aircraft that carried the N622DL registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: inadequate visual lookout by the flightcrew of the Delta Boeing 757, N622DL, and their failure to follow procedures and directives by not closely following the ramp marshals' signals.
