The NTSB investigators found that the automated surface observation system, which provides pilots with weather conditions, was “not functional” at the time of the accident due to an “unrounded power route” at the airport “.

The air traffic control provided the pilot's weather conditions in the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar before starting the approach to Montgomery Airport, said Baker.

The weather in Miramar, which is four miles north of Montgomery Airport, was informed as a wind, with half a mile visibility and a 200-foot blanket.
