An interesting story about the decision making process and how air charter company accidents are most often the result of a sequence of bad ones.

This report from the NTSB is perhaps all too typical of many accidents when poorly set up approaches are pushed through to conclusion.

FROM THE NTSB "Probable Cause" Report:



"The first officer's inadvertent retraction of the flaps during the low altitude maneuvering, which resulted in the inadvertent stall and subsequent in-flight collision with a residential home. Factors in the accident were the captain's decision to perform a low altitude maneuver using excessive bank angle, the flight crews inadequate coordination, and low clouds surrounding the airport."
