A problem with the instrument landing system at the Buffalo airport can cause airplanes to move suddenly to a nose-up position, a pilots' union warned on Thursday, but the flaw seems unlikely to have played a role in the crash of a plane during its approach there on Feb. 12. The union, the Southwest Airlines Pilots' Association, said it had described the problem to the crash investigators. The runway at Buffalo Niagara International Airport is the same one that Continental Connection Flight 3407 was approaching before it crashed, but the problem occurs when making a right turn to line up with Runway 23; the Continental plane was turning left.
