Far West 206 Crash At Stave Lake

[twinstar_ca]

in order to make things easier a wise pilot would set down next to the shoreline and note the altimeter setting before heading out to the middle for the landing (assuming it was a long way to taxi).

 

sounds like a good hint for new drivers to take note of, raq..

It could have been a mechanical failure for all we know. One thing for certain I would feel even sh!ttyer if I was the pilot involved reading this thread.

[T tail]

I'm with Iceman on that one !!!

[BAH]

What was the reg of the a/c? Was it JSL or VTM?

 

I believe, but don't qute me that it was CQT. It just came out of rebuild and on it's first revenue flight.

Thats probably the machine that Barry bought from Carrier lumber in Prince George a few years ago.

On the topic of training...

 

Do an of us receive adequate training for many of the tasks we are to perform in this industry???

 

Long lining, winter ops, float work... just about everything we do has been learned by trial and error or practise.

 

I feel many companies do not offer adequate training for newer pilots, ****, even more seasoned pilots about to do something new. Too often the response is; "You'll figure it out."

 

And to be fair to the operators, training really should begin with the schools.

[jetbox]

Why don't all of you show the pilot, the maintenance crew and the operator some respect and keep your stupid comments to yourselves until a formal FACT FINDING investigation has been concluded, however long that may take.

 

I said this before in the other thread and it applies here as well to all of you passing judgement on the pilot and/or the operator.

Some of you people lack a #### load of class!!!!!

I believe most views have been expressed now and since this thread has taken a slight turn, I will close it now.

I was just notified.... the female passenger in the accident passed away this morning. She was a employee of Environment Canada.
