This report discusses the August 14, 2013, accident involving an Airbus A300-600, N155UP, operating as UPS flight 1354, which crashed short of runway 18 during a localizer nonprecision approach to runway 18 at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport, Birmingham, Alabama. The captain and first officer were fatally injured, and the airplane was destroyed. Safety issues relate to the need for clear communications to flight crews about weather conditions, between dispatchers and flight crews, and between flight crewmembers; off-duty time management, fatigue awareness, and counseling; use of the continuous descent final approach technique; standardized guidance; and altitude alerts. Safety recommendations are addressed to the Federal Aviation Administration, UPS, Airbus, and the Independent Pilots Association.
