About 1920 Mountain Standard Time on January 19, 1988, N68TC, a Trans-Colorado Airlines, Inc., Fairchild Metro III, operating as Continental Express flight 2286 from Stapleton International Airport Denver, Colorado, with 2 flightcrew members and 15 passengers on board, crashed on approach to Durango, Colorado. The two flightcrew members and seven passengers were killed as a result of the accident. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the first officer's flying and the captain's ineffective monitoring of an unstabilized approach which resulted in a descent below the published descent profile. Contributing to the accident was the degradation of the captain's performance resulting from his use of cocaine before the accident. The safety issues examined in this investigation include the execution of a special approach by flightcrews and the effects of cocaine on human performance.
