In the Board’s words — the closest cases
  • DCA16IA2152016-08-12 · AIRBUS A320 232 · JetBlue Airways
    an inadvertent encounter with convective turbulence while in cruise flight.
  • DCA16CA2052016-07-28 · AIRBUS A321 231 · JetBlue
    an inadvertent encounter with clear air turbulence.
  • DCA25LA2402025-06-22 · AIRBUS INDUSTRIE A321-211 · AMERICAN AIRLINES INC
    The unexpected encounter with a rapidly developing convective cell during climb resulting in convectively induced turbulence on a dark moon-less evening.
  • DCA17CA1112017-05-02 · AIRBUS A320 232 · jetBlue Airways
    an inadvertent encounter with convective turbulence.
  • 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).
