Following a petition for reconsideration by Tamarack Aerospace, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued a revised final report for the Nov. 30, 2018 crash of N525EG, a Cessna 525 CitationJet equipped with a Tamarack active winglet system. The new probable cause is: “The pilot’s inability to regain airplane control after a left roll that began for reasons that could not be determined based on the available evidence.”

The NTSB issued the original final report on the accident on Nov. 21, 2021. Tamarack submitted the petition for reconsideration in January 2022.
