And after every failure, he moved up to bigger aircraft. Sounds like everybody really wanted him to succeed.

FAA wrapped up their investigation.  From my untrained eye:

  • blamed the copilot for his training & past performance problems
  • copilot panicked thinking the plane was stalling and pushed the nose down
  • the pilot didn't act decisively or quick enough to take command of the situation

Still crazy to me that the actual series of problems occurred within 31 seconds. Seems like a relatively common problem that pilots don't believe what the instruments so they make mistakes in overriding the controls. Is it common in opposite, where the instruments say no issue but the pilot was correct in overriding them?
