Plane down
King Air crashed in Gillam. All okay. Was a medi vac aircraft from Nunavut to Winnipeg.
Re: Plane down
What happened? Was it a planned fuel stop in Gillam?
As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

Re: Plane down
Hard landing maybe, notam says disabled aircraft, runway closed till 5z. Not likely a crash, tsb wouldn't allow a/c be moved that fast.
Re: Plane down
Duel engine failure, landed short of runway on the ice and hit the shoreline. Knocked the gear off and more.
Re: Plane down
Duel engine failure. Landed short of the runway on the ice. Continued on hitting the rock berm and then stopped on the runway.

Re: Plane down
I thought it was around 6pm that this occured. How did you get that info so quick? Assuming you weren't in the airplane...

This is going to affect someone's RFP

Whats RFP stand for?

Re: Plane down
Sorry, reference to the Manitoba privatization. Stands for Request For Proposals. The government is getting pitched by a bunch of medevac operators to get the province wide contract.
Crashing a plane probably doesn't look good for that, but on the other hand, crashing one without anyone getting hurt is pretty impressive.
Which company was operating the plane?

Re: Plane down
Request For Proposals. The air ambulance service in Nunavut is contracted to Keewatin and is up for renewal in 2022. Standard Govt. procedure is to request proposals from interested agencies before settling on one that will provide services.

Re: Plane down
Turbine dual engine failure or ran out of gas?

Re: Plane down
Three major possibilities for a dual failure...
1.)mechanical issues with both engines at the same time (Highly unlikely)
2.) Fuel contamination
3.)Too much Air in the tanks.
To be fair to my fellow aviators, I’d be betting on #2.
Correct that it doesn’t look good for a RFP bid..

Renamed the thread so the title was a little more informative.
Ps: It’s Medical Evacuation = MedEvac
Medi-vac is some sort of weird vacuum, just like shop-vac

Re: King Air at Gillam, MB
In my opinion If it was fuel contamination it would happen much earlier in the flight. How long is the flight from Iqaluit to Gilliam ? 2 hrs ??
