NTSB Accident Report HTML
The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the captain's inappropriate response to the activation of the stick shaker, which led to an aerodynamic stall from which the airplane did not recover. Contributing to the accident were (1) the flight crew's failure to monitor airspeed in relation to the rising position of the lowspeed cue, (2) the flight crew's failure to adhere to sterile cockpit procedures, (3) the captain's failure to effectively manage the flight, and (4) Colgan Air's inadequate procedures for airspeed selection and management during approaches in icing conditions.
The aircraft fought the pilot.
Is that not strange?
Wake up.
There are no coincidences .
As I understand it, the stick shaker is supposed to go into effect to keep a plane from going into something like an aerodynamic stall — and a mechanical problem can lead to its activation.
