"On October 25, 1999, a Learjet 35 carrying Payne Stewart departed Orlando for Dallas and subsequently stopped responding to air traffic control."
The NTSB's official investigation reconstructs the flight of Learjet N47BA, which departed Orlando at approximately 9.19 a.m. Eastern time and made its final radio transmission at 9.27 a.m. The accident establishes the historical starting point for the chapter's examination of automation and pilot incapacitation.
