Delta Flight Emergency Landing Investigation
After an emergency landing of Delta Flight 876 in Atlanta on February 24, a preliminary NTSB report revealed that there was little to no oil visible in the right engine’s reservoir. The flight, which was en route to South Carolina, encountered smoke filling the cockpit shortly after takeoff, prompting the crew to declare an emergency and don oxygen masks. The ongoing investigation aims to determine if the oil level was low prior to departure, amidst rising FAA concerns following other aviation incidents.
