NTSB Cites Wind, Unstabilized Approach in CL601 Fatal
Weather at the time of the accident “was near or in exceedance of the aircraft’s maximum tailwind and crosswind component for landing.”

The NTSB has determined that wind conditions and an unstabilized approach were key factors in the Jan. 2, 2014 fatal crash of a Bombardier Challenger 601-3R that was making its second attempt at landing after a go-around at Aspen-Pitkin County Airport in Colorado. One pilot was killed and the other pilot and passenger were seriously injured.
