On Tuesday, the National Transportation Safety Board announced it had opened an investigation. A preliminary repoort on the incident is expected within three weeks.
The two airline pilots who flew a San Francisco-bound plane that abruptly plunged to within hundreds of feet of the Pacific Ocean late last year are still in training, according to the airline, as another federal investigation of the same incident begins.
The Air Current first reported about the incident on Sunday. The outlet said the incident apparently didn't prompt any commentary from passengers on social media. "We look forward to sharing information with the NTSB," United told The Examiner in a statement on Wednesday, following the announcement of the investigation.
The NTSB in 2018 recommended the FAA require all aircraft to implement cockpit voice recorders with 25-hour durations, which the board's chair doubled down on in testimony to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee earlier this month.
