Truckee, California Challenger 605 Accident

In 2021 a Challenger crashed in Truckee, California while circling to land that resulted in 6 fatalities. This accident, which was the result of an unstabilized approach, self-induced pressure, poor crew resource management, and a lack of leadership, has captured the business jet industry’s attention.
In this session, NTSB Board Member Michael Graham will host a panel to discuss key safety topics and factors that contributed to the accident.
