MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Two Northwest Airlines pilots who got distracted and overshot the Minneapolis airport have agreed not to fight the revocations of their licenses but could fly again under an agreement they reached with federal authorities on Monday.

Under the settlement released by the Federal Aviation Administration, Timothy Cheney and Richard Cole can apply for new licenses Aug. 29, more than 10 months after they flew an Airbus A320 with 144 passengers about 100 miles past Minneapolis before discovering their mistake over Wisconsin.

Cheney, the captain of Flight 188, and Cole, the first officer, told investigators they became distracted and lost track of time last Oct. 21 as they were working on their laptop computers on a complicated crew scheduling program they had to learn after Delta Air Lines Inc. acquired Northwest a year earlie.
