NTSB Releases Findings on Fatal Private Jet Crash.

A Bombardier Challenger 300 twin-engine jet violently pitched upward then downward, killing a passenger, after pilots responding to automated cockpit warnings switched off a system that helps keep the aircraft stable. The National Transportation Safety Board didn’t reach any conclusions in its preliminary report on the main cause of the deadly March 3 accident, but it described a series of things that went wrong before and after the plane swooped out of control. The trim system of the Bombardier Challenger 300 twin-engine jet was the subject of a Federal Aviation Administration mandate last year that pilots conduct extra safety checks before flights.

NTSB Rules Out Turbulence as Cause of Fatal Medical Emergency on Private Jet.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released a report on the Bombardier Challenger 300 flight that was diverted to Bradley International Airport after a woman, Dana Hyde, was injured during an in-flight disturbance and later died. The report reveals that the pilots aborted their first takeoff after receiving caution messages on their instrumentation. The airplane pitched rapidly during the flight, and Hyde was injured. The crew did not report any significant turbulence during the flight. After the plane was diverted to Bradley International Airport, Hyde was transported to a local hospital, where she died later that day.
