Follow-up to the air crash of American Airlines Flight 965

After the air crash, American Airlines settled a large number of claims from the families of the deceased. Later, American Airlines filed a third-party liability lawsuit against Jepperson and Honeywell, the database manufacturers of flight management system, because their navigation computer database failed to include the coordinates of Rozo non-directional beacons involved in the air crash in the optional data code R, and the case was submitted to the Federal District Court of South Florida in Miami. In court, representatives of American Airlines admitted that the company was partly responsible for the air crash, while representatives of Gibson and Honeywell argued that they were not legally responsible. The case was concluded in June 2000, and it was finally decided that Jeep should bear 17% responsibility, Honeywell should bear 8% responsibility, and American Airlines should bear the remaining 75% responsibility.

The air crash also made Bonilla Aragon International Airport in Cali Alfonso criticized by many parties. The main reason is that the airport has used the approach system for many years and lacked the radar navigation system since 1992. In addition, the classification of aircraft types refers to the reduction of flight engineer seats in the cockpit of modern aircraft, which in turn increases the workload of pilots responsible for driving. The organic engineer also accused the pilot of the accident plane of not knowing the approach route of the destination Cali before the flight. Boeing has also become the target of criticism by pilots, because none of its aircraft is designed like its competitor Airbus, which automatically closes the open spoiler when accelerating.

At present, the flight number of American Airlines Miami to Cali has been changed to 92 1, which is operated by Boeing 737-800. However, it was renamed Palma (code PL) to avoid confusion with Romeo directionless beacon in Bogota and Rosso directionless beacon in code R.
