What happened
During an ILS approach, the aircraft stalled and crashed approximately 1.2 nautical miles east of runway 28L. The captain initiated the approach at a high speed, crossing the Final Approach Fix (FAF) without having the aircraft properly configured for a stabilized approach.
The flightcrew failed to monitor or maintain the airspeed. Furthermore, the captain did not apply full power or complete the necessary aircraft configuration in a timely manner.
Findings
Investigation into the crew's performance revealed that both pilots possessed low flight time and limited experience operating this specific aircraft type or any aircraft equipped with an Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS). Additionally, the captain had limited experience serving in the capacity of captain.
The airline lacked established procedures for required callouts regarding airspeed deviations during instrument approaches. The investigation also noted that inadequate consideration was given to the risks of pairing a newly upgraded captain on a new aircraft with a first officer who lacked previous airline experience in air carrier operations.
