Colgan Air Flight 3407 (marketed as Continental Connection Flight 3407) was a scheduled passenger flight from Newark, New Jersey, US to Buffalo, New York, US on February 12, 2009. Colgan Air staffed and maintained the aircraft used on the flight that was scheduled, marketed, and sold by Continental Airlines under its Continental Connection brand.
Fragments of the plane were found scattered in a 300 ft radius, according to the report. The left wing of the plane was found broken in two pieces along the debris path 0.8 miles from the wreckage.
The NTSB determined that the plane was flying 600 feet (180 m) below its required altitude, though the reason for this is unknown. The NTSB report suggests that the pilots misjudged their altitude position during approach due to a lack of navigational aids on the aircraft and near the airport. [121]
