The report found that the pilot likely faced white-out or low visibility conditions that caused him to crash.
The National Transportation Safety Board found that “inadequate operational control procedures” were to blame for a 2020 Yute Commuter Services plane crash that killed five people near Tuntutuliak in Southwest Alaska. The recently released report found that the pilot likely faced white-out or low visibility conditions that caused him to crash.
In an interview with NTSB investigators, YCS’ general manager said that new pilots are usually subject to limitations on when they can fly. But the board found that there was no procedure for communicating those conditions to dispatchers, which is likely how the new pilot, 34-year-old Tony Matthews, ended up flying in low visibility conditions on Feb. 7, 2020.
The general manager stated that a 1,000-foot ceiling and 5 miles of visibility would be “more appropriate” weather conditions for a new pilot.
