NTSB: Learjet 60 elevator found miles from Florida crash site, suggests in-flight breakup

NTSB investigators recovered the left tail elevator of the Learjet 60 up to 3.8 miles from the crash site in Florida, indicating the aircraft broke up in flight. The finding suggests a possible structural failure linked to pilots' attempts to level the jet, though the exact cause remains under investigation. This matters as it could point to a systemic issue with the aircraft type or pilot procedures.
