Key Takeaways:

  • The crash of Jenni Rivera's Learjet was attributed to a "series of factors," with a definitive cause unattainable due to the extensive damage to the aircraft.
  • Investigators suggested a problem with the horizontal stabilizer might have led to the sudden loss of control, while ruling out weather or an inflight fire.
  • Contributing factors included the extreme age difference of the pilots (78 and 21) and the aircraft operator's failure to address previously identified issues.
