I'm glad they went to investigate but the company has had 3 weeks to do whatever they want to the aircraft. Due to any possible insurance claims they might have a vested interest in influencing the investigation.

That's an actual photo. They really did that to one or two planes.
There's one still flying down in the states I think.

I believe the aircraft was sitting in the lake probably related to why TC didn’t investigate earlier

Any truth to the story that someone pulled back the condition levers (red handles) instead the of the props after takeoff. Apparently the condition levers are bent and embedded in the front of the pedestal by the PIC when they realized what had just happened....

If the condition lever story were true, wouldn't the ignitions relight the engines? Sure it would probably wreck the turbines, but at least there would be power again. Not sure how the ignition system works on a Basler.

Now that was insightful. The last sentence sums it up nicely though.

It's pretty safe to assume there's a continuous or automatic ignition system. If you're so smart, how about providing some useful information.

Twenty years from now you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did do.

For autoignition to work at all, it has to be on.

Any further updates to this air-frame? Has it been ferried or repaired?

A photo posted to Facebook today shows the Basler flying out of Fort Hope airport. Good job recovery and repair crews!

So... it really wasn’t fuel tanks full of air that caused two PT6s to fail simultaneously?

No, second hand version I have is two condition levels pulled instead of props by the f/o.
I do fancy more details to this story though...

And, didn't arm Autofeather.
Time of the accident was 0 dark 30...I'm thinking that fatigue had a bit to do with this...
