Comair Flight 5191
Comair Flight 5191 was a scheduled United States domestic passenger flight from Lexington, Kentucky, to Atlanta, Georgia. On the morning of August 27, 2006, at around 06:07 EDT (10:07 UTC), the Bombardier CRJ100ER crashed while attempting to take off from Blue Grass Airport in Fayette County, Kentucky, 4 miles (6 km; 3 nmi) west of the central business district of the city of Lexington.
The aircraft was assigned the airport's Runway 22 for the takeoff but used Runway 26 instead. Runway 26 was too short for a safe takeoff, causing the aircraft to overrun the end of the runway before it could become airborne. It crashed just past the end of the runway, killing all 47 passengers and 2 of the 3 crew members. It was the second-deadliest accident involving the CRJ100/200 after China Eastern Airlines Flight 5210, which had crashed two years earlier and claimed 55 lives.
The first officer, James Polehinke, was the pilot flying at the time of the accident and was the sole survivor. Captain Jeffrey Clay was the one who had primary responsibility for taxiing to the wrong runway. In the National Transportation Safety Board's report on the crash, investigators concluded that the likely cause of the crash was pilot error.
The flight was marketed under the Delta Air Lines brand as Delta Connection Flight 5191 (DL5191) and was operated by Comair as Flight 5191. It was identified for air-traffic control and flight-tracking purposes as Comair 191 (OH5191/COM5191).
The flight had been scheduled to land at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport at 7:18 a.m.
The aircraft was a 50-seat Bombardier Canadair Regional Jet CRJ100ER, serial number 7472. It was manufactured in January 2001 and was delivered new to the airline.
The captain was 35-year old Jeffrey Clay. He had 4,710 flight hours, including 3,082 hours on the CRJ100.[failed verification]
The first officer was 44-year-old James Polehinke. Prior to his employment by Comair, Polehinke worked for Gulfstream International Airlines as a captain on the Beechcraft 1900. He had 6,564 flight hours, including 940 hours as a pilot in command and 3,564 hours on the CRJ100.
