On March 3rd, a business jet flying over New England experienced a fatal accident after pilots responded to automated cockpit warnings by disabling a system that helps keep the aircraft stable. The NTSB is continuing to investigate the incident and is urging pilots to be aware of the potential risks associated with disabling stabilizer systems. The NTSB is also recommending that aircraft manufacturers review their procedures for responding to automated cockpit warnings and is expected to release its final report in the coming months.
