A medical transport flight that crashed in northern Nevada is the fourth incident investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board in recent years.
was cleared for 25,000 feet and the highest it attained was 19,000 feet. The last radar return was about 11,000 feet.
The aircraft did not have any flight data recorders on it or cockpit voice recorders – nor was it required to, Landsberg said. An investigative team will remain on scene for several days to comb the area for parts of the aircraft and gather "perishable evidence." Landsberg said the NTSB will release a preliminary report in roughly two weeks. A probable cause – the final report – will likely not be released for another 12 to 18 months, Landsberg said.
Visibility was under two miles with a cloud ceiling about 2,000 feet above ground when the flight left Reno and went down, according to the weather service.
