WASHINGTON (AP) - Reports from federal investigators looking for the cause of September's fatal medical helicopter crash in Prince George's County show the pilot might have received outdated weather information because of a faulty switch.

An air traffic controller was removed from his regular duties after giving the pilot of a state medevac helicopter a weather report based on hours-old information shortly before the helicopter crashed in Prince George's County, according to records made public yesterday by the National Transportation Safety Board.
