NTSB links fatal airshow crash to airspeed management; Brazil probes Westwind overrun tied to unstable approach and high landing
Two separate investigations point to approach-and-landing technique failures. The NTSB says a Lancair ES crash at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2024 resulted from the pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed on arrival. In Brazil, investigators conclude an unstable approach plus excessive speed during landing roll led an IAI 1124 Westwind to veer off the runway and crash through a brick wall.
