A business jet flying over New England violently pitched upward then downward, fatally injuring a passenger, after pilots responding to automated cockpit warnings switched off a system that helps keep the aircraft stable, U.S. transportation investigators reported Friday.
Confronted with several alerts in the cockpit of the Bombardier jet, pilots followed a checklist and turned off a switch that "trims" or adjusts the stabilizer on the plane's tail, the report said. Pilots told investigators they did not encounter turbulence, as the NTSB had said in an initial assessment the day after the incident.
Bombardier did not respond directly to the report's contents, saying in a statement that it was "carefully studying" it. In a previous statement, the Canadian manufacturer said it stood behind its Challenger 300 jets and their airworthiness.
