Sourcing and Citation Policy

Aviation Insights is an educational resource based on publicly available information and generally accepted investigative, regulatory, and legal frameworks. Where an article discusses a specific incident, it relies on publicly reported facts and formally released investigative materials when available.

This section does not speculate about accident cause, assign fault, or assume unverified failure sequences. Early reporting can change as evidence is analyzed; readers should treat preliminary information as subject to revision until investigators issue formal updates and final findings.

Case summaries are provided for general context. They are not legal advice and are not a substitute for reviewing the full text of judicial opinions and applicable statutes or regulations.
