The private jet crash in the US that killed 9 people was reenacted in a 3D simulation based on actual flight data and radio recordings. How the Learjet 60's difficult flight, which began with icing and turbulence, spun out of control was shown second by second, accompanied by the pilots' final radio calls.
The private jet crash in the US state of Florida that killed 9 people was recreated in a 3D simulation using actual flight data and radio recordings. The Learjet 60 aircraft's loss of altitude before the crash, the pilots' final conversations with the tower, and the point where the aircraft transmitted its last signal revealed the scale of the disaster.
ICING AND TURBULENCE WERE EXPERIENCED DURING THE FLIGHT
The crew of the private jet with tail registration N722BD encountered light icing and moderate turbulence during the flight. Due to adverse weather conditions affecting the region, communication was established between the flight crew and air traffic control.
The situation, initially reported as controllable, quickly became critical. The aircraft began to lose altitude rapidly.
MAYDAY CALL FROM THE PILOTS TO THE TOWER
As the aircraft began to lose control, the pilots made an emergency call. In the radio recordings, the crew was heard reporting that they were losing altitude at a rate of 10,000 feet per minute.
As the severity of the descent gradually increased, the aircraft's altitude loss reached 20,000 feet per minute. In the simulation, the final minutes in which the aircraft descended uncontrollably were shown using actual flight data.
THE LAST SIGNAL WAS RECEIVED OVER GREENACRES
According to ADS-B flight data, the aircraft's last signal was received over the Greenacres area of Florida at an altitude of approximately 325 feet. After the signal was lost, the aircraft crashed into the ground.
The 3D recreation, which reveals the final moments of the crash that killed nine people, was prepared by combining radio communications and flight data. The official investigation into the crash is ongoing.
