March 23, 201015 yr Link As usual, no details released yet. There's bound to be a ton of information from your local safety shop about this one, folks, so stay tuned...
March 23, 201015 yr Nope. Loss of thrust due to uncommanded feathering. That or one of the spark plugs was fowled up. The pilot really goosed the landing though. Edited March 23, 201015 yr by snoopyeast
March 24, 201015 yr Sounds a bit like structural failure. Might want to get some -15C maintainers to help check the longerons... From the safety report: "The MP [mishap pidgeon] apparently was bird-brained and chickened out on the approach. He applied power for a go-around and goosed the throttles. The MP flew around a short pattern, but entered too early. The MG [mishap gander] continued his approach from three miles out 'as the crow flies'. The MG realized that birds of a feather were about to flock together but was unable to feather her engines in time. Free as a bird, this was not supposed to be the fini flight (or 'swan song') for the MG. The impact resulted in structural failure of the longerons. The MP is AWOL and the MG has been grounded by the flight surgeon."
