RCMP crash

[Jean-Pierre]

I still don't know why they crash? Broken stall warning made them panic and really stall?

That would be the short version..
Of course the accident report had to have some subtlety to it.
She was flat out roaring around.
Maybe adding some flap for that final turn would have saved her ass.

Most Pilatus accidents have little to do with there being only one engine, and more to do with the nature of an unassumingly complex aircraft being flown by someone who has taken it's safety features and technology for granted and doesn't study and review them enough. It's easy to fly single pilot, until something goes wrong. How something as mundane as a faulty stall warning could lead to this crash is surprising, especially given the high time of the pilot. Knowing how to assess the situation (speed, power, attitude, stall??? which AOA vane is faulty, Left or Right?), eliminating the distraction - where the circuit breakers are (Pusher and Stall warning on Left and Right), or even knowing about the Aural warning inhibit switch, should make this such a shruggable non-event.

I can't judge too much on what daily stress this pilot was under or why they thought or acted the way they did, but all this to say I'm surprised something so minor blew up the way it did.
