Prioritní příčinou nehody byla závada systému SYD, která vedla k nestabilitě letounu, posádka (pilot kapitán Mark Tyler Voss (27); kopilot kapitánka Victoria Pinckney (27) a boom operátor technical sgt. Herman Mackey III (30) ) na to správně nereagovala, problémy se zvětšovaly (od bočních výkyvů do stran o 1° přes kymácení se letounu - tzv. "dutch roll"), v okamžiku kdy se posádka rozhodla situaci řešit - opět ne zcela správně, došlo vlivem zatěžování letounu k destrukci SOP, která se rozpadla a ulomila, což způsobilo ztrátu kontroly nad letounem a jeho pád.
