AAIA report notes weather warnings before September 7 crash near North Andros

A preliminary AAIA report says weather warnings were issued before the September 7, 2026 crash near North Andros, and the pilot was advised of moderate to extreme precipitation ahead and later reported rough turbulence shortly before contact was lost.

The Bahamas Department of Meteorology operates Doppler radars, airport observation systems and automatic stations installed since 2016, while the proposed BACSWN NextGEN Meteorological Watch Office would add enhanced real‑time weather monitoring and live aircraft tracking, though the AAIA report does not determine a probable cause and does not suggest the BACSWN system could have prevented the crash.
