The pilot of a skydiving plane that crashed earlier this month at Cross Keys Airport in Gloucester County reported a loss of engine power and attempted to glide back to the airport but landed too fast and plowed into the woods beyond the runway, the National Transportation Safety Board said in a preliminary report.

The first officer asked the more experienced captain why he moved the switches to the "cutoff" position after it climbed off the runway, the report said.

A cockpit voice recording from last month’s catastrophic Air India crash suggests the captain may have deliberately cut fuel to both engines,
