Aircraft Accident Report - Piper PA-23-150, N2185P and Pan American World Airways Boeing 727-235, N4743, Tampa, Florida, November 6, 1986

摘要

The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the accident was the decision of the pilot of the Apache airplane to continue a precision instrument approach below the published decision height when the required visual references were not distinctly visible and identifiable. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's failure to obtain a predeparture weather briefing before choosing a means to travel to his destination.
