Sometimes the crew is at fault. Time will tell if this is one of those cases or not.
So they're gonna hang the crew eh?
"...neither pilot was fully trained to use the aircraft's stall warning and protection system, which includes a feature called the "stick pusher..."
huh?? is there something more than a clacker, shaker, and pusher??
This is just bad reporting.
As a company pilot, I can vouch that Colgan's stall recovery procedures are taught correctly and the same as other airlines- approved by the FAA, no less. I doubt the FAA would certify Colgan's Q400 training program unless it was valid.
That is for the NTSB to determine.
I really wish they would output all the data.
Are voice recorder tapes considered a part of the freedom of information act?

I'm not as peeved as the other post,
There are so many things wrong with those two sentences- but the part that is making my blood boil right now is intent.
You intend to pore over the details of a deceased airline crew- for your entertainment. Don't deny it, this whole thing is to satisfy your morbid curiosity. So a CFI/II has to go without getting his jollies, pointing fingers at a flight crew and smugly (and all knowingly) deciding how much of a bad job they did. BFD.
When (IF) you ever make it to the real world of flying for a living, the dead last words you'll ever hear a captain (trust me, I know, I am one) say are: Gee, wouldn't it be great if they lifted the CVR ban?
If there is information within the investigation that points to an institutionalized problem, we'll all know about it because I guarantee it will make its way into EVERYONE'S recurrent training.
That's all the "deets" ya need, sport.
Well, besides one. A few dozen people are dead.
/peeved rant over
Wish they'd lift the ban so we could read all those PMs. Then we'd know what's REALLY going on......
