I don't know the details, and I cant verify my sources, but I heard by the runway at kash...CZKE, and everyone is ok..Hope at least the latter is correct.

Will they be posting another ad looking for captains?

This is an interesting one..many versions of the story out there. This is the one I heard the most.

Night takeoff. Pilot says windshear. Pax say he was flying with no pannel lights and a flashlight on his head (read:head lamp), experienced an engine failure, rejected.

It could be BS. You all know how these get started. Glad everyone is ok.

I sure HOPE that's BS! A flashlight on his head...hooooboy!

Heard it was a double engine failure, Thats all. I do not know anymore and that is even second hand info.

The PA31 departed Kash at night, immediately after take-off, the aircraft's left engine failed, resulting in the aircraft crashing into a swamp. There were no injuries to the seven 7 pax's, the aircraft was substantially damaged.

The old PA-31 sure wouldn't be climbing with 7pax on board with an engine out. I'd say this guy did a great job, or was really lucky.

Maybe both....maybe "really lucky" and "did a good job"....or, is there actually any place at all for luck in aviation?????

talked to the refueler ymo (funny they know more than just about anyone what happened) the above posts mainly are correct . 1 engine failed
reject and ruhbarb was the outcome.

what is interesting is they lost a contract for patient transfers and that
the locals are in a leary boycott mood so even if they hire 'NEW' it could be a very lean winter.

minus 37 to - 50 is hard on them hoe's

flyinhigh · Post by **flyinhigh** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 6:30 pm

Well, looks like the guy that hit the rubarb is gone as they are looking yet AGAIN, I wonder who is going to go there this time.

''Because of the remote location of the crash, Machete said the Transportation Safety Board will not attend the site as part of its investigation.''

Very interesting, why would they do that?

Canoehead · Post by **Canoehead** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 8:50 am

What a load of bull. Remoteness of the area? Give me a break. You can't get any more access to a crash site than that. At an airport serviced by a sked carrier.

This company needs to be investigated one way or another. Using the "remoteness" argument is pretty poor. An accident like this needs to be a field investigation, unless the TSB already knows exactly what happened. If the pilot says "yeah, I screwed up and had the wrong tank selected and it died", then that is pretty straightforward.

However, if I were in charge at TSB (or TC), knowing what I know about this company, I'd say "ok, but we're coming up anyway to check it out". At the same time I'd have the OPP guarding the scene.

I truly hope the people involved start screaming and yelling over this one. It shouldn't matter whether it happens in Kash or in Winnipeg or in Ottawa.

It's not uncommon when there are no fatals and the crash isnt near a large white population.
