FAA investigates whether passenger flight crew fell asleep

The FAA wants to find out whether a crew fell asleep on a short flight between Honolulu and Hilo, Hawaii.

Flight 1002 left Honolulu at about 9:20 a.m. Wednesday and was scheduled to land in Hilo at 10:05 a.m.

A source close to the investigation said there was a 25-minute period where ground crews in Hilo could not get a hold of the flight crew; the flight landed safely.
