Thirteen passengers and five crew members were aboard, and there were no survivors. The aircraft was destroyed by the impact and subsequent fire. The probable cause of the accident was "the descent of the aircraft below its clearance limit and below that of surrounding obstructing terrain, but the Board was unable to determine the cause of such descent." This accident was the first loss of a Douglas DC-9. On October 1, 1966, a Douglas DC-9 registered in the United States as N9101 operated as Flight 941 from Seattle, Washington to San Francisco, California with intermediate stops in Portland and Eugene.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems Safety is the FAA's top mission, and the agency maintains the world's safest aviation system. The FAA first authorized use of unmanned aircraft in the National Airspace System (NAS) in 1990. Today, unmanned aircraft are flying in the NAS under very controlled conditions, performing border and port surveillance by the Department of Homeland Security, helping with scientific research and environmental monitoring by NASA and NOAA, supporting public safety by law enforcement agencies, helping state universities conduct research, and supporting various other missions for public (government) entities. ASN Aircraft accident Douglas DC-9-14 N9101 Wemme, OR Narrative:West Coast Flight 956 departed San Francisco (SFO) at 18:44 for a flight to Eugene (EUG), Portland (PDX) and Seattle (SEA). The brand new DC-9 aircraft, which had been delivered to West Coast Airlines just 2 weeks earlier, arrived at Eugene at 19:34 and took off again 18 minutes later. At 20:04 the crew were cleared to descend from the cruising altitude of FL140 to 9000 feet. While turning to heading 300deg, the aircraft descended below the clearance altitude and impacted the wooded eastern slope of Salmon Mountain at the 3830 feet level. The aircraft attitude was 30 degrees right bank, in a 3-4 degree climbing flight path on a heading of 265 degrees. Probable Cause:

Carenado – Beechcraft B1900D for FSX/P3D In the last days I was flying in the FSX with another iconic aircraft, the Beechcraft B1900D. It is one of the most popular airliner in its class. With a capacity of 19 passengers (depending of internal configuration) it is operated by many countries and are present in many flight simulators for PC. The B1900 was introduced in 1984 and produced until 2002. Including all versions, Beechcraft manufactured 695 units.
