As usual, the NTSB report is useless. Doesn't
even attempt to analyze the cause for the accident.


Let's remember that what we're seeing here is _not_ an NTSB report. It
is a synopsis, and a preliminary one at that. Synopses with Preliminary
status will never state more than the basic facts of the accident
(date, time, location, and basic on-scene findings such as control
continuity).

When the synopsis is updated to Probable Cause status, it will state
the probable cause as determined in the investigation and offer
pertinent analysis of the accident and surrounding events. I think that
the synopses typically go to Probable Cause status when the full
accident report is finalized. Typically, reports for non-fatal
accidents are finalized 6 months after the accident. Reports for fatal
accidents take a year or sometimes more.

You can see the full NTSB accident report if you want, when it is
completed. The last time I did this, it cost about $35 for the records
duplication.

Thanks, and best regards to all
