NTSB Final Report - data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/104938/pdf
NOTE: At the time of this video’s release, the National Transportation Safety Board had not completed the final report on this accident. This video represents the AOPA Air Safety Institute’s understanding of events, compiling multiple sources, at the time of release.
It’s a cold spring morning on April 13, 2022, when a cargo pilot in a Cessna 208 Caravan departs Salt Lake City International Airport in Utah. Her IFR flight plan takes her 133 nautical miles to the northwest, where she plans to fly the RNAV Runway 20 approach into Burley, Idaho.
Join the AOPA Air Safety Institute as we examine the circumstances that led to a tragic outcome during the GPS approach at Burley Municipal Airport. We look at several risk factors - including weather conditions and a factory's steam stacks located below the flight path, close to the runway threshold - that turned out lethal during the final descent.
ASI’s Accident Case Studies seek to share critical lessons to make us all safer pilots.

NOTE: The video states that a new NOTAM has been issued for the Burley airport. Technically, it is a “Letter to Airmen” that was issued through the FAA’s NOTAM system. This LTA may not be found through all means of accessing NOTAMs, such as ForeFlight. We apologize for the discrepancy.
