While the report draws no conclusions as to the cause of the crash, investigators set out a detailed timeline which focuses heavily on the Mitsubishi CRJ900s descent. TSB At a height of 50 feet the rate of descent had increased to 1114 feet per minute (fpm) from 672 fpm around 14 seconds before. to the right, the TSB said.

Alongside a nearby highway, some recognizable bits of airplane, the vertical stabilizer and rudder, a horizontal stabilizer and elevator, fell separately to Earth. The vertical descent rate reached the data-recording limit of 9,999 feet per minute. The pilot died instantly. The plane just kept coming down.

However, if you take a close look at the inboard upper wing surface of the B-52, you will see a neat row of vortex generators that correspond to the width of the horizontal stabilizer. These were added to manage the low speed air flow over the wings, stabilizer and elevators.

It most commonly forms on the leading edges of your aircraft, including the wings, tail, and horizontal stabilizer, as well as on the propeller blades and pitot tubes. Because rime ice forms quickly and has a rough texture, it tends to build up in these forward-facing surfaces that are directly exposed to the oncoming airflow.

Just recognizable in the background is a horizontal stabilizer and one-piece elevator. Climbs and descents were normal, and while not stunning, it seemed like this airplane could carry a load up and over the hills if needed—even though it is designed to operate down low.
