NTSB: Multiple pilot errors led to fatal Teterboro plane crash
A pilot’s failure to perform a go-around when his plane became unstable on its approach to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey caused the plane to stall at a law altitude and ultimately, to crash into a commercial building and parking lot about a half mile from the intended runway. Both pilots, the only occupants aboard the aircraft, died in the crash.
That’s the conclusion in a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report released Tuesday – one which identifies a number of errors that led up to the final, fatal incident that occurred on May 15, 2017.
