NTSB Report Cites Engine Failure, Pilot Response in Fatal Addison King Air Crash
The National Transportation Safety Board has released its preliminary report on the fatal crash of a Beechcraft King Air 350 at Addison Airport near Dallas. The incident, which occurred on June 30, 2019, resulted in the deaths of all ten people on board. According to the investigation, the left engine experienced a loss of power immediately after takeoff. The report suggests the pilot failed to apply the necessary right rudder to counteract the asymmetrical thrust. This led to a loss of control and the subsequent crash, making pilot response a key focus of the investigation.
