The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was lack of navigational vigilance by the Mooney instructor pilot which led to the unauthorized intrusion into the Salt Lake City airport radar service area. Contributing to the accident were the absence of a mode-C transponder on the Mooney airplane and the limitations of the air traffic control system to provide collision protection under the circumstances of this accident.
