In the Board’s words — the closest cases
- CEN09LA4612009-07-11 · EMBRAER-EMPRESA BRASILEIRA DE ERJ 170-20 · REPUBLIC AIRLINE INC
The passenger's failure to comply with crewmember instructions to remain seated while the airplane was in turbulent weather conditions, resulting in an injury to the passenger.
- ERA12CA0442011-10-20 · BOEING 767-2B7 · US AIRWAYS INC
The passenger's lack of compliance with the illuminated seatbelt sign, which resulted in her injury during a turbulence encounter.
- CEN12LA1662012-02-19 · BOEING 737-832 · DELTA AIR LINES INC
An in-flight encounter with forecasted turbulence, which resulted in a serious injury to a flight attendant. Contributing to the accident was the flight attendant not being seated with her seatbelt fastened when the encounter occurred.
- ERA09LA4882009-08-27 · BOEING 717-200 · Airtran Airways
The flight crew's encounter with convective turbulence. Contributing to the accident was the failure of the operator's dispatch department to provide the flightcrew with current adverse weather information along the planned route of flight. Also contributing was the failure of the flightcrew to provide relevant forecast information to the cabin crew, and their failure to detect and avoid the existing convective conditions.
- ERA09LA3962009-07-10 · AIRBUS A320-232 · JETBLUE AIRWAYS CORP
An inadvertent in-flight encounter with turbulence during approach. Contributing to the accident was the passengers' failure to follow the instructions of the illuminated seatbelt sign.
This is the pattern in the NTSB’s own record across similar accidents — which findings it cited, what it coded, what it recommended. It is drawn from the record, not written about this case, and it never assigns blame: investigations exist to prevent the next accident (ICAO Annex 13).
