On 12 February 2009, a Bombardier DHC-8-400 on an ILS approach to KBUF crashed after the pilot flying lost control of the aircraft.
The NTSB investigation determined that “the probable cause of this accident was the captain’s inappropriate response to the activation of the stick shaker, which led to an aerodynamic stall from which the airplane did not recover.”
A total of 24 new Safety Recommendations were made in the Report.
