A teaching device, not a verdict: what the record would have looked at, next to what the Board found.

In the Board’s words — the closest cases
  • DCA22LA1822022-05-11 · MITSUBISHI CL-600-2B19 · SKYWEST AIRLINES INC
    A lateral runway excursion during landing for reasons that could not be determined based on the available evidence.
  • ANC19LA0452019-08-01 · DOUGLAS C 118A · Tatonduk Outfitters Limited
    The pilot's failure to maintain an adequate glidepath during the approach, which resulted in the airplane impacting rocks and dirt at the runway threshold, a separation of the right main landing gear, and a loss of directional control.
  • ANC13FA0542013-06-04 · DEHAVILLAND BEAVER DHC-2 MK.1 · Pacific Wings LLC
    The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate altitude above the trees, and his subsequent failure to maintain adequate airspeed while maneuvering to avoid the trees, which resulted in an inadvertent aerodynamic stall/spin and an uncontrolled descent.
  • CEN15FA0482014-11-18 · AERO COMMANDER 500 B · Central Air Southwest Inc.
    The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed while attempting to return to the airport after a reported engine problem, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall/spin.
  • ERA17FA1952017-06-03 · PIPER PA23 · AIR AMERICA INC
    The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed, properly correct for left yaw, and his exceedance of the airplane's critical angle of attack during initial climb, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and subsequent uncontrolled descent into water.

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).
