Ice buildup blamed for 1963 Kansas City crash
The Civil Aeronautics Board determined the Continental Air Lines Viscount crash at Kansas City Municipal Airport on January 29, 1963, likely resulted from undetected ice on the horizontal stabilizer. Eight aboard died as the aircraft pitched over from 90 feet during descent, with icing aided by airspeed and flap position. The board cited weather reports, wind tunnel tests, and comparisons to other Viscount incidents, noting the anti ring system was off and windshield de icing concealed icing elsewhere on the plane.
