		The crash of a Korean Air jumbo jet that killed 228 people when it slammed into a hillside in Guam two years ago was the result of errors by the cockpit crew that might have been prevented if the airline had provided better training for its pilots, the National Transportation Safety Board concluded yesterday.
		The agency also said that the captain's fatigue--he complained he was sleepy during the five-hour flight, which was due to arrive at 1 a.m.--and the airline's inadequate pilot training contributed to the accident, and that the FAA failed to adequately manage the air control system at Won Pat International Airport.
		The accident report yesterday showed the crash of Flight 801 to be the result of a series of mistakes that might have easily been avoided.
