COMAIR 3272 Accident Commentary. My son, Ken Reece was the First Officer/Pilot in Command of the flight. The summary provided by Wikipedia is incomplete. If a person reads the NTSB report on the crash, it is sickening. The reader will find that the FAA was primarily responsible for the accident - for a number of factors. The pilots were blamed for operating at/below the minimums. BUT the pilots encountered clear ice and did not see any reason not to slow. Further, they were ordered to the slower speed by ground control. Factors conveniently left out of the crash report. The descent was on auto pilot which was at that time allowed. The pilots did NOT know they were iced. The EMB-120 was certified by the FAA for flight in heavy icing conditions with NO ice detection system and inadequate boot-style de-icing systems. The crew and passengers never had a chance. The FAA killed 29 people and got away without consequences. After that crash, the FAA finally acted to correct the equipment and operations shortcomings. When the public hearings were held, NO senators, congressmen or press attended because of their attention being on the Clinton/Lewinsky affair. Shame on the FAA. I loved and still miss my son every day. He was a superb pilot. I hate seeing articles where the pilot(s) were blamed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:79B0:8200:D168:BA94:2A19:3388 (talk) 22:44, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ERAU copy of the report.[edit]

The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University page where the report would normally be lists sub-pages at https://libraryonline.erau.edu/online-full-text/ntsb/aircraft-accident-reports/AAR98-04.pdf , but these are of an older domain, and the links are broken :(

However they are backed up on the Wayback Machine:

Main report, Appendices C, D, E, F, G, H, and I.

Also ERAU does have live links under the actual respective domains:

Main report, Appendices C, D, E, F, G, H, and I.
