About this listen
The first case covers Crossair Flight 3597 in Zurich (2001). Investigators found that mechanical problems and air traffic control mistakes were not factors; instead, the crash stemmed from errors in pilot judgment and approach procedures.
The second account focuses on Continental Connection Flight 3407 in Buffalo (2009), where pilot mistakes during a stall situation were exacerbated by fatigue and inadequate training, highlighting weaknesses in regional airline operations.
Both narratives emphasize how pressures to cut costs led to inexperienced crews and safety lapses, and how the resulting investigations prompted legislative reforms to improve pilot training, reduce fatigue, and strengthen oversight in the regional airline sector.
