NTSB Probes Starter Generator in Fatal NetJets Citation Crash

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating a damaged right-engine starter generator discovered in the wreckage of a NetJets Cessna Citation Latitude that crashed in Texas this June. According to the preliminary report, the flight crew noticed unusual vibrations shortly after departure from Mexico, followed later by cascading fuel pressure and electrical warnings before a dual-engine flameout on final approach to Laredo. The findings underscore the importance of thoroughly diagnosing abnormal in-flight vibrations and the potential for cascading system failures following isolated component damage.

NetJets Crew Refuses Las Vegas Go-Around Citing Low Fuel

A NetJets flight crew on approach to Las Vegas rejected an air traffic control instruction to go around, stating they were unable due to low fuel. The crew had not previously declared a minimum fuel state, which forced controllers to quickly clear the business jet to land and instead order a trailing Alaska Airlines widebody to execute a missed approach. This incident underscores the critical necessity of proactive fuel state communication to prevent unexpected sequencing conflicts on final approach.
