Safety Board investigates Circuit City accident
The NTSB’s unusually lengthy preliminary report on the February 16 crash of a Circuit City Citation 560 on an ILS approach to Pueblo Memorial Airport (PUB)

The NTSB’s unusually lengthy preliminary report on the February 16 crash of a Circuit City Citation 560 on an ILS approach to Pueblo Memorial Airport (PUB), Pueblo, Colo., did not mention the minimum safe altitude warning (MSAW) the crew received moments before the crash or whether the jet was on an IFR flight plan (it was), although it did note that instrument conditions prevailed on the approach.

According to earlier indications from the NTSB, ATC radar activated an MSAW, which controllers then reported to Citation N500AT, before the jet, on approach for Runway 26R, crashed three to four miles short of the touchdown zone.
