Everything was OK. I think this was the companys second engine failure in a couple of years, heard there beaver blew a jug near Arborg last summer. Pilot handled it well a made the water. All this training is keeping those pilots sharp. Safe flying. :prayer:

This what piloting is all about. Knowing what to do in a emergency, it's only a matter of time that equipment will break down. Cheers to the lads who make it back safe!

I think you should check your sources there beaverman. I know a guy who worked for them and had four engines stop in just one summer recently :shock:
I would certainly admire the courage of a Navajo pilot who works there. Nice work with bringing her to the ground safely!

Sounds like a good job, a navajo engine out with 8 pax would be near the limit.

Glad it's a non-event, we need more cadors/incidents to end like this.
