Fine Air Flight 101, Miami, Florida

Wisner represented the families of the co-pilot and flight engineer killed in the crash of a Fine Air cargo flight on August 7, 1997 in Miami, Florida. The cargo loaders had changed the distribution of the load in order to fit certain cargo. The flight crew, which had set the plane’s center of gravity controls based upon the now changed loading plan, was not told of the change. The crew could not recover the aircraft from its consequent nose up attitude and the aircraft crashed. Floyd Wisner provided information to the U.S. Attorney, which assisted the government in bringing criminal charges, and imposing criminal penalties, against this cargo carrier.
