You're right, according to one of the co-owners. The other co-owner is her father. Very good source on that information.

She was building time.

Apparently there is some other pilot on here that some of the lads were giving out about that is male, but this pilot was a woman.

p.s.: anyone here know the coordinates of impact? i saw a map on a news story, but have lost it.
You've got your wires crossed here. It was a woman flying, but why let that detail be a hindrance to giving out about some chap with poor judgment.

cncpc: what i was trying to get across was that it would indeed be a shame if the incident we are discussing in this thread is a repeat of mr. telo's type of mishap when he couldn't outclimb apex mountain. That was in a single comanche fully loaded, high temps., forestfire haze.

They took days to find his airplane because they had projected way out along his intended track to Victoria, thinking perhaps the cathedrals, etc. i hope you still don't think i have my wires crossed, except for the fact that many of us are still in the dark as to the real circumstances of this flight.

So many things could be the answer, and it is hoped the survivors will soon be able to shed more light.

All is good S4T. This aircraft was also a long way off track.

... actually, mr. telo's plane was right on track, just a lot earlier in the flight than the searchers expected. c.f.i.t.

in the case of the twin, it appears to have flown down the lake to get some safe altitude before heading west, but that is mere conjecture. one is tempted to say the density altitude caused the accident, but there are many things that could have predicated the tragedy, and the t.s.b. report might be the only real judger of the truth.

Have you not heard of the lawsuits which have been filed, even before the report is released? The TSB has yet to state what the causes of the First Air accident were, other than being some kind of CFIT, but that hasn't stopped the lawyers. It doesn't matter what the cause is to them; if anything negligent was done even in the proximity of the accident, they think they can get damages. For example, several of the victims' families have filed a suit against the Canadian Forces; the CF didn't fly the plane into the hillside, but because they were in Resolute at the time the legal team thinks they can argue that the CF was negligent by not preventing the accident.
Even if the pilot of the PA-30 wasn't illegally operating a charter, if she did anything that wasn't completely above board she could potentially be facing a lawsuit. Didn't check the oil? Lawsuit. Made a mistake on the weight and balance? Lawsuit. The lawyers don't even have to win the suit, because they collect their fees from their clients either way. It doesn't matter if it directly contributed to the accident; as long as something wrong was done in or around the flight, the lawyers see profit to be made.
