PROBABLE CAUSE

On the basis of the foregoing findings and the entire record available to us at this time, we find that the probable cause of the accident involving NC 19970 (Eastern Airlines' Trip 5 of October 9, 1941) on October 10, 1941, was the action of the captain in attempting a landing under conditions of insufficient visibility.
