TSB Report on 737 crash in Resolute, Nunavut Print E-mail

TSB investigationThe Canadian Transportation Safety Board has completed its report into the crash of a First Air Boeing 737-200 C-GNWN at Resolute Bay, Nunavut on August 20, 2011.  The final report was released at a news conference in Ottawa, Ontario on Tuesday, March 25, 2014 at 11:00 am ET.

The report was more than two years in the making.  It looks at a range of issues around the accident, and provides a comprehensive analysis of what happened.  The TSB identified problems in communication between the captain and the first officer, and an inadvertent mode change to the autopilot as key factors in the accident.  They called for First Air to improve CRM training (Cockpit Resource Management) , and for Transport Canada to update CRM standards across the country.

CBC News has a detailed story, including links to the TSB's explanatory animation of the final minutes of the flight.  There's also more on the TSB's site here.  It is unclear yet what impact the TSB report will have on a number of lawsuits filed following the accident. A full copy of the TSB's Aviation Investigation A11H0002 is available here.
