A teaching device, not a verdict: what the record would have looked at, next to what the Board found.
- 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.
- DCA12LA0912012-06-13 · BOEING 737-724 · UNITED AIR LINES INC
the flight crew's penetration of a rapidly developing thunderstorm cell in an area of forecasted convective activity. The serious injuries were the result of a misunderstanding between the captain and cabin crew regarding the potential for turbulence.
- 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.
- DCA16CA0892016-02-14 · AIRBUS INDUSTRIE A319 132 · American Airlines
an encounter with turbulence that resulted in a serious injury to a passenger who was standing when the fasten seatbelt sign was illuminated.
- DCA23LA2522023-04-22 · BOEING 777-223 · AMERICAN AIRLINES INC
An encounter with inadvertent convective turbulence during cruise flight.
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).
