VFR traffic and tower controller workload was high at the time; controllers were sequencing VFR flights to land on runway 17 from both directions, and a controller was giving rapid radio instructions to multiple flights, including at least two other Cessnas using runway 17, one of which was landing ahead of both accident aircraft.

The controller was initially unaware that the Cessna pilots had done so, as the Cessna pilots were not reporting their position, he lacked radar information, he was busy sequencing other aircraft, and his vantage point made it difficult to accurately judge the Cessna's position visually.

The NTSB determined the probable cause of the accident to be: "the inadequacy of current VFR separation standards in controlled airspace, the crew of the DC-9 not sighting the Cessna in time to avoid it, the absence of VFR traffic pattern procedures to enhance an orderly flow of landing aircraft, the

The NTSB performed a visibility study based on the flight paths of both aircraft, concluding that the Cessna should have been visible to the DC-9 first officer (the pilot flying) for 58 seconds leading to the collision; to the aircraft captain, for 22 seconds; and to the observer (the other captain)
