Families of Ameriflight 8646 Crash Victims Face One-Year Deadline for Legal Claims

The families of the two pilots killed in the crash of Ameriflight Flight 8646 on February 28, 2023, are facing an imminent legal deadline. A strict one-year statute of limitations requires any claims against the U.S. government, potentially involving FAA air traffic controllers, to be filed by the anniversary of the incident. The cargo plane, a Fairchild SA227-AT, crashed near Burley, Idaho, after its right wing separated during flight, according to the NTSB's preliminary report. This approaching deadline is a critical milestone in the legal aftermath of the fatal accident. Failure to file in time could bar families from seeking future compensation.
