official letter to the government questioning why the pilots were represented in the commission, as this could pose a potential conflict of interest. Both parties were criticized for speculating about the cause of the accident before the conclusion of the commission. The commission stated that the probable cause of the accident was that the crew had carried out a premature descent. This was caused by the crew misunderstanding the lighting arrangement at the airport due to lack of proper information about its configuration. The report did not criticize the pilots for choosing to land with visual flight rules, nor for carrying out the landing in the encountered weather conditions. The commission found that no individuals were at fault in the incident and that it had been caused by a series of system errors. It placed responsibility with both the CAA and the Air Force for the inadequate configuration of the lighting system and for not properly following civilian regulations at military airports. Aftermath After the accident Linjeflyg resumed service to Ängelholm with Douglas DC-3 aircraft. The airline changed its procedures regarding landing at Ängelholm, making more strict policies in regard to minimum visibility. Both radio beacons were moved to the conventional civilian locations. Flight 267 was the seventh loss of a Convair CV-240 family aircraft. At the time it was deadliest and now remains the fifth-deadliest accident of the type. The accident remains the deadliest aviation accident in Sweden. Linjeflyg would suffer one other fatal accident, Flight 618 in 1977, although it was a wet lease operated by Skyline. The power balance between the CAA and the Swedish Air Force prior to the accident was skewed whereby the latter permitted civilian flights to their air bases on the condition that they did not intervene in military operations and procedures. The commission's findings caused an increased focus on safety by the Civil Aviation Administration and a shift in attitude. Specifically, the military air bases with joint traffic were reconfigured to meet international civil standards in their instrument landing and lighting systems. This was made possible because the government, in the wake of the accident, increased funding to the CAA to improve the systems.
