The staff at the airport tower was “deficient”, the report said, adding that “most employees were required to work mandatory overtime shifts,” the documents said. The airport controllers worked an average of 400-500 hours of overtime per year.

“According to air traffic manager (ATM), inadequate staff has led to a decrease in the discussions of training and the management team is not able to properly monitor the work of the employees,” the report said. “Ancomat said everyone in the team is exhausted and this balance between work and life does not exist. The cumulative impact of the ongoing staff deficit, excessive overtime, reduced training and insufficient recovery time are likely to have a significant impact on the control tower’s workforce. “

NTSB has determined that the problems of the staff played a role in the crash, but in the end accused a pilot of aligning with the wrong track.
