Accident & incident history

2024-01-19 Incident · Dulles, VA Damage: Minor NTSB · ERA24LA094
Reported aircraft: Cessna 208
Probable cause: The pilot-in-command s approach to the critical angle of attack during initial climb, which resulted in a vibration the flight crew improperly identified as an engine issue and resulted in the subsequent off-airport landing. Contributing to the accident was the operator s inadequate and contradictory guidance for flight crews operating in winter conditions. Also contributing was the pilot-in-command s decision not to perform a tactile check or deice, which resulted in taking off with ice contamination.
