Piloting cited in fatal crash of World War II Ju 52 on Swiss Alps sightseeing flight.
The pilots’ “high-risk flying,” which took their airplane too low and too slow over the Swiss Alps, led to an Aug. 4, 2018, crash that killed both pilots and 18 others aboard a historic Junkers Ju 52 known as “Iron Annie,” the Swiss Transportation Safety Investigation Board (STSB) says.

Indonesian accident investigators say a recurring autothrottle problem and the pilots’ inadequate UPRT contributed to the fatal crash of a Boeing 737.
The NTSB says the airplane’s horizontal stabilizer actuator had separated.
