Cessna Down In Glen Valley Today

[cjpilot]

Which one made the landing in everyone's favorite practice area today?

[North Shore]

Perhaps it's just me, and maybe I'm just a little gun-shy due to an incident in my neck of the woods today, but 'Down' in the context that you are using it comes across as a synonym for a crash. It doesn't appear, from what you've posted, that it was a crash - just a forced landing, and everyone ok, apart from a bruised ego..

i wonder what happened

[cjpilot]

I find it hard to believe no one knows anything...

There's nothing on the news. Not everyone here camps out at Boundary, Langley, or Pitts all day long. Sounds like you know more than we do.

Hmm, same aircraft, experienced engine problems twice in 15 days.

Three times and it's a recurring defect...

726.05 Defect Recording and Control

(1) Pursuant to section 706.05 of the CARs, the defect recording system has to include a method to highlight defects that recur, so that they are readily identifiable by flight crews and the maintenance organization at all bases where the aircraft is operated. The air operator is responsible for identifying defects as recurring defects to maintenance personnel in order to avoid the duplication of unsuccessful attempts at rectification.
(amended 2008/12/30; previous version)

(2) Pursuant to section 706.05 of the CARs, the defect control system has to ensure that the rectification of a defect identified as a recurring defect will take into account the methodology used in previous repair attempts.
(amended 2008/12/30; previous version)

(3) For the purposes of these standards, defects are recurring defects if a failure mode is repeated three times, on a particular aircraft, within 15 flight segments of a previous repair made in respect of that failure mode.

until then...
