The NTSB says the death of Courtney Edwards was caused by human error.
NTSB says the incident happened just before 3:00 p.m. on December 31, 2022. The Embraer 170 airplane, operated by Envoy Air Inc. d/b/a American Eagle, had just arrived from its scheduled flight from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
The plane was operating with a broken auxiliary power unit and the crew elected to keep the engines running for the required 2 minutes to let the engines cool off. Immediately thereafter, the captain said he saw a warning light and the airplane violently shook followed by the immediate automatic shutdown of the first engine. The report goes on to say unsure of what had happened, the captain extinguished the emergency lights and shut off both batteries before leaving the flight desk to investigate.
