Northwest Airlink Flight 5719
[5] The flight crew initiated the approach procedure by joining the Hibbing distance measuring equipment (DME) arc from the Hibbing VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) radio navigation system, and intercepting the instrument landing system localizer at 8,000 feet (2,400 m) MSL.[9] The concluding statement from the NTSB report (NTSB/AAR-94/05) provided the following probable cause for the crash of Northwest Airlink Flight 5719: "The captain's actions led to a breakdown in crew coordination and the loss of altitude awareness by the flight crew during an unstabilized approach in night instrument meteorological conditions.Contributing to the accident were: the failure of the company management to adequately address the previously identified deficiencies in airmanship and crew resource management of the captain; the failure of the company to identify and correct a widespread, unapproved practice during instrument approach procedures; and the Federal Aviation Administration's inadequate surveillance and oversight of the air carrier."[1] The crash of Northwest Airlink Flight 5719 was covered in "Killer Attitude", a Season 17 (2017) episode of the internationally syndicated Canadian TV documentary series Mayday, also known as Air Disasters and other titles.[12] This article incorporates public domain material from websites or documents of the National Transportation Safety Board.
