CT4ME
Cleared for Takeoff
The NTSB factual report (not final) is finally available, nearly two years after the accident. Bottom line... pilot error. OK, we get that. But the report barely mentions the defective Class B airspace issue that also contributed greatly to the accident. This, in spite of a "secret/private" internal memo from FAA personnel that says the airspace is deficient and needs to be fixed to avoid a similar accident. It also doesn't mention that there is no beacon on the mountain top which is higher than the very close class B airspace.
The NTSB Factual
Local TV report
Report on leaked FAA memo not mentioned in factual report
I have not been able to find the "NTSB ATC group chairman's factual report" mentioned. This isn't the final report (due in a month)... so there's still time for them to get it right.
