NTSB Cites Spatial Disorientation in Fatal 2025 Vermont Plane Crash
The National Transportation Safety Board has released its final report on the fatal plane crash that occurred in Manchester, Vermont. Investigators determined the probable cause was the pilot continuing a visual flight into poor weather conditions, leading to spatial disorientation and loss of control. The report highlights that the pilot was not instrument-rated, which was a critical factor in the accident. Both occupants of the single-engine aircraft were fatally injured in the 2025 crash. The NTSB reiterated the dangers of VFR-rated pilots flying into instrument meteorological conditions.
