Safety record

Accident & incident history

2007-12-16 Accident · Providence, RI Damage: Substantial NTSB · DCA08FA018
Reported aircraft: Bombardier CL600-2B19
Probable cause: the captain s attempt to salvage the landing from an instrument approach which exceeded stabilized approach criteria, resulting in a high sink rate, likely stall, and hard landing which exceeded the structural limitations of the airplane. Contributing to the accident was the first officer s poor execution of the instrument approach, and the lack of effective intra-cockpit communication between the crew. Additional contributing factors to the accident are the lack of effective oversight by AWAC and the FAA to ensure adequate training and an adequate experience level of first officers for line operations.
