NTSB releases revised report on cause of plane crash that killed Louisville City FC founder
The National Transportation Safety Board recently published a revised report for a plane crash that killed three people, including the founder of Louisville City FC, in southern Indiana in 2018.
LouCity founder Wayne Estopinal, Sandra Holland Johnson, 54, of Shreveport, Louisiana and pilot Andrew Davis, 32, of Sellersburg, Indiana, died in a crash after taking off from Clark Regional Airport in Jeffersonville.
Two years ago, a final crash report said a malfunction with the left winglet caused an issue during the flight and the pilot was unable to recover. But, in an updated report released on Feb. 23, NTSB said there wasn’t enough evidence to attribute the cause of the crash to winglets.
“The available evidence for this accident does not sufficiently show that the ATLAS was the cause of the in-flight upset from which the pilot was unable to recover,” NTSB stated.
Greg Feith, a former NTSB senior air safety investigator said the original report was far from complete and that the board failed to do its job.
“I don’t think they did their job in that particular investigation,” Feith said.
