The flight crew’s failure to remove the right side pitot probe cover before flight, their decision to depart with a No-Go advisory message following an aborted takeoff, and their selection of the incorrect non-normal checklist in flight, which resulted in an in-flight upset that exceeded the maneuvering load factor limitations of the airplane and resulted in fatal injuries to a passenger whose seatbelt was not fastened. Contributing to the severity of the in-flight upset were the pilot-in-command’s (PIC) decision to continue the climb and use the autopilot while troubleshooting the non-normal situation, and the PIC’s pilot-induced oscillations following the autopilot disconnecting from the out-of-trim condition. Also contributing to the accident was the crew’s inadequate crew resource management.
