In the Board’s words — the closest cases
  • ANC11CA1012011-09-10 · DOUGLAS DC-8-62F · Air Transport International LLC
    The passenger's decision to ignore the fasten seatbelt sign, resulting in serious injury to the passenger during a turbulence encounter.
  • ANC13FA0302013-03-08 · BEECH 1900C · ALASKA CENTRAL EXPRESS INC
    The flight crew's failure to maintain terrain clearance, which resulted in controlled flight into terrain in instrument meteorological conditions. Contributing to the accident were the flight crew's failure to correctly read back and interpret clearance altitudes issued by the air traffic controller, their failure to adhere to minimum altitudes depicted on the published instrument approach chart, and their failure to adhere to company checklists. Also contributing to the accident were the air traffic control…
  • ANC20LA0462020-05-15 · Cessna A185 · Webster James M
    The pilot’s controlled flight into flat snow-covered terrain in weather conditions that were conducive to flat light conditions.
  • DCA16IA2152016-08-12 · AIRBUS A320 232 · JetBlue Airways
    an inadvertent encounter with convective turbulence while in cruise flight.
  • WPR12LA0532011-12-02 · BOEING 737-7H4 · SOUTHWEST AIRLINES CO
    The flight crew’s flight into known severe turbulence associated with mountain wave activity.

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).
