Report out - C150 into Lake Huron Sept 2017.

Post by rookiepilot »

Interesting from report:

"In this accident, an in-flight flap asymmetry could not be ruled out. The broken flap track was heavily corroded, which weakened its structural integrity and life expectancy. The corrosion had been present for some time, but was not noticed in any of the annual inspections that followed standards set out in the CARs."

... the Department of Transport amend the regulations to clearly define the visual references (including lighting considerations and/or alternate means) required to reduce the risks associated with night visual flight rules flight.
TSB Recommendation A16-08

In its response, Transport Canada indicated that it will take a two-fold approach to address this recommendation to reduce the risks associated with night VFR flights. In the short term, Transport Canada will conduct safety promotion and education activities, which will be followed by a regulatory amendment project.

Regulatory amendment project. Oh boy.

Anyone want to suggest what should be changed?
