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.
