• "which at around 06:30 local time on 22 May 2010," - You should note which time zone it is referring to when it says "local time", or better yet, just put the time in UTC.

 Done -- DQ (t) (e) 11:22, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

• Some references are in the wrong places, because it looks like some statements are unsourced. This is the situation in the following statements:
  • "Initial reports from survivors suggested a tyre burst[6] as the aircraft attempted a go-around." - Move reference #6 to the end of the sentence.

 Done -- DQ (t) (e) 11:29, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

• • "800 feet (240 m),[54] well before the aircraft made a touch down." - Move reference #54 to the end of the sentence.

 Done -- DQ (t) (e) 11:29, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

• • "and also of the alleged hostile attitude of the airline's counsel.[80] Members of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) along with Kasargod MP P Karunkaran staged a protest on 8 September 2010 at the airline's office in Mangalore where they submitted a memorandum to officials demanding that families of the victims receive early and equitable settlements of compensation due. They also demanded the settlement process be made more transparent by opening it to the media rather than holding sessions in camera." - Either the reference (#80) is in the wrong place, or this statement really is unsourced.

 Done -- DQ (t) (e) 11:29, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

• The units of measure are inconsistent as to whether it is American first or metric first (e.g. 2,000 feet (610 m) and 90 metres (300 ft); they should be American first and metric last or vice versa, but not both).

• Some of the references contain errors:
  • [1] Reference #12 is missing the date, which was May 8, 2011 (the bottom of the page says it was last updated on that day).
  • Reference #14 is a bare url and is missing all information. BTW, why is it linked to a plane crash in 1981?
  • [2] Reference #16 is missing the date (27 April 2011).
  • [3] There is a typo in the title on reference #20, it should say "158 die, 8 survive in Air India Express plane crash in Mangalore", not "159 die, 7 survive".
  • [4] Reference #24 is missing the publisher (The Hindu) and the date (16 December 2006).
  • [5] Reference #28 is missing the date (24 May 2010).
  • [6] Reference #29 is missing the author (Chand, Naseeb).
  • [7] On reference #31, add the author either as "CNN Wire Staff" or "Singh, Harmeet; Neisloss, Liz; Razek, Raja; Deaton, Jennifer". BTW, you have the wrong title, it should be "Air India's flight data recorder sought".
  • [8] Reference #33 is missing the author (Mines, Javier).
  • Note: Checked link, worked for me. The url for reference #42 redirects to the video homepage, and not what it was intended to link to.

• • [9] Reference #43 is missing the date (27 May 2010).
  • [10] Reference #50 is missing the date (3 August 2010).
  • [11] Reference #51 is missing the author (Proulx, Jim) and the date (21 May 2010).
  • [12] The url for reference #57 has a similar problem to reference #42.
  • [13] Reference #58 is missing the author (Nandy, Chandan)
  • [14] Reference #61 is missing the date (26 April 2011).
  • [15] Reference #64 is missing the author (Raghuram, M.).
  • [16] Reference #69 is missing the author (Fernandes, Ronald).
  • [17] Reference #73 is missing the author (Hradecky, Simon) and the date (26 April 2011).
  • Reference #76 is a bare url and is missing all information.

Not sure. This doesn't look right... do you know what I am doing wrong? -- DQ (t) (e) 11:51, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

You put the url in quotation marks, I fixed it for you.--12george1 (talk) 14:29, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

• • [18] Reference #77 is missing the date (23 May 2010).

 Done Reference checks except where noted. -- DQ (t) (e) 11:51, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

• • Ok, I am ready to pass this article for GA. Congratulations,--12george1 (talk) 17:44, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
