Aviation Accident Case Study

CASE STUDY INSTRUCTIONS

For this Case Study, choose a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report of a weather-related accident/incident and, along with at least five other sources, investigate what happened in the accident/incident, offer the causes, and the recommendations for the future in order to prevent such an accident/incident. Since this is an aviation weather course, you must highlight the weather-related causes and explore, in depth, the specific weather theory.

There must be an official NTSB report with the accident you choose. The other five sources must be from an academic source (books, journal, newspaper article, etc.).

The following components must be present within your report. Please be sure to follow the template provided.
1. Cover Page
2. Abstract
3. Introduction

To assist in the formation of the Case Study Report, a Case Study Guide is provided within Module/Week 7. It is highly recommended that you complete the Guide before turning in your Case Study Report to ensure all components of the Case Study Report have been executed thoroughly.

Aviation Accident/Incident Reports can be found in the NTSB database found here:
