NTSB accidents & incidents

Accident · 2015-11-10 Operator named in NTSB report
BRITISH AEROSPACE HS 125 700A (N237WR) Fatal injury Part 135

Operated by Execuflight (per NTSB report)

The flight crew's mismanagement of the approach and multiple deviations from company standard operating procedures, which placed the airplane in an unsafe situation and led to an unstabilized approach, a descent below minimum descent altitude without visual contact with the runway environment, and an aerodynamic stall. Contributing to the accident were Execuflight's casual attitude toward compliance with standards; its inadequate hiring, training, and operational oversight of the flight crew; the company's lack of a formal safety program; and the Federal Aviation Administration's insufficient oversight of the company's training program and flight operations.
