Re: Beaver Crash
All these various saftey measures have merit indeed, however in this case as often occurs with Beaver crashes the engine displaces the foot wells and often traps the front pax and pilot. Loss of life is always tragic especially when it is a friend and mentor.

Re: Crash at Brenda Mines on BC Highway 97
So it seems this crash followed the same sequence of events as so many that came before in this area. Moral of the story don't try to walk up a down esculator so to speak get your altitude in the valley before proceeding enroute.

I do know...

Re: Crash at Brenda Mines on BC Highway 97
Yes Cat driver you are right it takes far to long to publish findings and although this accident does suggest the possibility of flight into rising terrain we cannot and must not draw a conclusion based on partial information.

Re: Crash at Brenda Mines on BC Highway 97
A tragic loss and condolences to all concerned. TSB now must do their due dilligence and determine the reason. Although this crash and location has all the ingredients found in rising terrain accidents we must await the TSB findings. However it is an opportunity to revisit this often too frequent sc...
