The US National Transportation Safety Board has assigned a lead investigator to examine the cause of a Daher-Socata TBM 900 crash off the coast of Jamaica on 5 September, but says it is unable to begin the probe until the aircraft's wreckage has been located. The seven-seat, single-engined turboprop (N900KN) plunged into the sea 12nm (26km) off the coast of Jamaica, after having flown hundreds of miles beyond its intended destination. The occupants were US businessman and president of the TBM Own- ers and Pilots Association, Larry Glazer, and his wife. Glazer was the US launch customer of the TBM 900, having taken delivery of the aircraft in March 2014.
