1 NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD Office of Research and Engineering a^ Washington, D.C * February 19, 2002 Flight Path Study - United Airlines Flight 93 A. SUBJECT AIRCRAFT Location: Shanksville, PA Date: September 11, 2001 Time: 10:03 AM Eastern Daylight Time Flight: United Airlines Flight 93 Aircraft: Boeing , registration: N591UA NTSB#: DCA01MA065 B. GROUP N/A C. SUMMARY This document provides a brief description of the flight path of the aircraft based on information obtained from various sources of recorded radar of the subject aircraft both before and after the hijacking events. Information from the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) recovered on scene is also used to develop the description. Flight paths are overlaid onto maps of the area, and time histories of altitude data are presented United Airlines Flight 93 - Flight Profile The following profile of United Airlines Flight 93 is based on data from the flight data recorder (FDR) recovered from the crash site, as well as radar data obtained from the Federal Aviation Administration's Air Route Traffic Control Centers and the U.S. Air Force 84th Radar Evaluation Squadron. Figure 1 shows the flight path of the aircraft from take off at Newark, NJ to the crash site near Johnstown, PA. Figure 2 shows the aircraft's altitude profile for the 1 hour and 21 minute duration of the flight.
2 United flight 93 departed Newark, NJ at 8:42 am (point A in Figures 1 and 2) and reached its assigned cruising altitude of 35,000 feet at about 9:02 am (B). The flight appears normal until a brief descent of about 600 feet starting at 9:28 (C). The words "get out of here" and sounds of a struggle were recorded on the air traffic control radio at FAA's Cleveland Center facility at this time. The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) onboard the airplane began providing sounds from the cockpit at approximately 9:32. At 9:34 (D) the airplane starts to climb from 35,000 feet, and shortly thereafter begins a left turn to a Southeast heading of 120 with the autopilot in heading select mode. The airplane maintained a maximum altitude of 41,000 feet for about 2 minutes and then started descending at about 9:39 (E), with the autopilot in vertical speed mode and at a descent rate of 4,000 feet/minute. Radar stations stopped receiving transponder returns from UAL93 at approximately 9:41. There was a brief interruption in the descent at 9:46 (F) as the airplane climbed from 19,000 feet to 20,500 feet before resuming its descent, but at a slower rate (1,300 feet/minute). At about 9:57 the airplane started a left turn to the east. At 9:59 (G) the airplane was at 5,000 feet when about 2 minutes of rapid, full left and right control wheel inputs resulted in multiple 30 degree rolls to the left and right. From approximately 10:00 to 10:02 there were four distinct control column inputs that caused the airplane to pitch nose-up (climb) and nose-down (dive) aggressively. During this time the airplane climbed to about 10,000 feet while turning to the right. The airplane then pitched nose-down and rolled to the right in response to flight control inputs, and impacted the ground at about 490 knots (563 mph) in a 40 degree nose-down, inverted attitude. The time of impact was 10:03:11. Ritter Chief, Vehicle Performance Division NTSB

ACCIDENT Location: Date: Time:1 Aircraft: NTSB Number: Shanksville, PA September 11, 2001 Boeing 757 DCA01SA065 B. GROUP N/A C. SUMMARY On September 11, 2001 United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing 757 crashed near Shanksville, PA. A certified analog copy of air traffic control (ATC) transmissions recorded on September 11, 2001 at various tower, departure, and Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) positions along the route of flight was sent to the audio laboratory of the National Transportation Safety Board. These recordings were used to create an audio and text transcript of the aircratt-ground communications from takeoff to accident time.

24 United Airlines Flight 93 - Flight Profile OFFICIAL USE ONLY The following profile of United Airlines Flight 93 is based on data from the flight data recorder (FDR) recovered from the crash site, as well as radar data obtained from the Federal Aviation Administration's Air Route Traffic Control Centers and the U.S. Air Force 84th Radar Evaluation Squadron. Figure 1 shows the flight path of the aircraft from take off at Newark, NJ to the crash site near Johnstown, PA. Figure 2 shows the aircraft's altitude profile for the 1 hour and 21 minute duration of the flight. United flight 93 departed Newark, NJ at 8:42 am (point A in Figures 1 and 2) and reached its assigned cruising altitude of 35,000 feet at about 9:02 am (B). The flight appears normal until a brief descent of about 600 feet starting at 9:28 (C). The words "get out of here" and sounds of a struggle were recorded on the air traffic control radio at FAA's Cleveland Center facility at this time. The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) onboard the airplane began providing sounds from the cockpit at approximately 9:32. At 9:34 (D) the airplane starts to climb from 35,000 feet, and shortly thereafter begins a left turn to the southeast. The airplane maintained a maximum altitude of 41,000 feet for about 2 minutes and then started descending at about 9:39 (E). Radar stations stopped receiving transponder returns fromual93 at approximately 9:41. There was a brief interruption in the descent at 9:46 (F) as the airplane climbed from 19,000 feet to 20,500 feet before resuming its descent. At about 9:57 the airplane started a left turn to the east. Just before 9:59 (G) the airplane was at 5,000 feet when about 2 minutes of rapid, full left and right control wheel inputs resulted in multiple 30 degree rolls to the left and right. From approximately 10:00 to 10:02 (H) there were four distinct control column inputs that caused the airplane to pitch nose-up (climb) and nose-down (dive) aggressively. During this time the airplane climbed to about 10,000 feet while turning to the right. The airplane then pitched nose-down and rolled to the right in response to flight control inputs, and impacted the ground at about 490 knots (563 mph) in a 40 degree nose-down, inverted attitude. The time of impact was 10:03:11.
