Bermuda Airlines Flight 16 has crashed shortly after takeoff on its way to the United States. Work with your peers on a small, self-directed, investigative team to solve a realistic (but fictional) aircraft accident mystery. Learn about the real-world technical detective work that keeps aviation safe. New information on the crash will be given out each session as you piece together the facts to determine what caused the accident and present recommendations for improving flying safety. Note: This is the same problem that was offered during IAP 2004.
