Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman

Much like car accidents, it’s important that incidents like this get thorough enough investigations that don’t automatically assume operator error is what went wrong. That’s obviously important to consider, but so are things like mechanical defects, maintenance issues, weather conditions, or even conditions at the airport which may have contributed to the rough landing. Otherwise, something important might slip through the cracks.
