Thank you Fox3 and Courtney for adding to the corporate memory about a tragic accident. I thought that was probably the one Courtney was thinking about in his original post, and agree with Fox3 that the lack of AWS was not a cause of this accident. I don't recall the conclusions of the BoI at this distance in time, but would have been surprised if they had said more than that AWS, had it been fitted and not overridden, might have prevented the accident. As with most aircraft accidents, many factors come into play, and it is clear from Fox 3's post that weather and lack of experience on type were in the mix here.
