๐๐ผ๐น๐ด๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐ฟ ๐๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ณ was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Newark to Buffalo. The flight was being operated by a de Havilland Canada Dash 8 (Reg. N200WQ) on ๐๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ญ๐ฎ, ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ต.
The plane departed Newark at 21:20. At 22:15:14 the Buffalo Approach controller cleared the flight for an ILS approach to runway 23. At 22:16:02, the engine power levers were reduced to flight idle. At that time Buffalo Approach instructed the crew to contact Buffalo Tower. The crew then extended the landing gear and the auto flight system captured the ILS 23 localizer. At 22:16:28 the crew moved the flaps to 10ยฐ, and 2 seconds later the stall warning stick shaker activated. The autopilot disconnected at about the same time that the stick shaker activated. The crew added power to approximately 75% torque.
The plane began a sharp pitch up motion, accompanied by a left roll, followed by a right roll, during which the stick pusher activated. During this time, the indicated airspeed continued to decrease to less than 100 knots. 8 seconds after the flaps had been selected to 10ยฐ, and at an airspeed of less than 110 knots, the crew retracted the flaps. 16 seconds later the flaps were fully retracted. Following further pitch and roll excursions the plane pitched down and entered a steep descent from which it did not recover. The plane impacted a residential house and was destroyed.
๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:
"The captain's inappropriate response to the activation of the stick shaker, which led to an aerodynamic stall from which the airplane did not recover. Contributing to the accident were (1) the flight crew's failure to monitor airspeed in relation to the rising position of the low-speed cue, (2) the flight crew's failure to adhere to sterile cockpit procedures, (3) the captain s failure to effectively manage the flight, and (4) Colgan Air's inadequate procedures for airspeed selection and management during approaches in icing conditions."
