Accident & incident history

2001-10-17 Accident · Bethel, AK Damage: Substantial Minor injury NTSB · ANC02LA002
Reported aircraft: Embraer 120ER — a different aircraft that carried the N120AX registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The captain's continued descent below the minimum descent altitude which resulted in impact with terrain during an instrument landing approach. Factors contributing to the accident were the flightcrew's failure to reset the altimeters to the correct altimeter setting, and meteorological conditions consisting of snow obscuration that limited visibility, and the ambient night light conditions.
