Government investigators are preparing to
release cockpit voice data and other details from their probe of a
Northwest Airlines flight that flew past its destination.


      The 400 pages from the National Transportation Safety Board
investigation into Northwest Flight 188 will be made available
Wednesday morning.


      The Oct. 21 flight from San Diego to Minneapolis fell out of
communication with air traffic controllers for 77 minutes, and
didn't re-establish communication until the plane was 150 miles
past its final destination. Pilots say they were distracted by
working on crew scheduling on their laptops.


      The pilots' licenses have been revoked. They are appealing.
