Note: This analysis may be based on NTSB preliminary reports, which represent an initial, incomplete investigation. Facts can change as the investigation progresses, and preliminary findings should not be assumed to be accurate or final. For older events, a final NTSB report may have been issued — always consult the NTSB Aviation Query for the authoritative record.

NTSB Narrative

No NTSB narrative

No NTSB narrative exists for this accident. The NTSB's electronic archive does not carry narrative text for accidents before 1989, so the record here is limited to the facts above. Consult the NTSB Aviation Query for anything further.

Case Study & Lessons Learned

The case study is written from the NTSB narrative. With no narrative on record there is nothing to draw the lessons from, so none is offered here rather than one invented from the facts alone.
