BillyVance 34 #5 February 4, 2015 one article said 23 dead, 15 survivors, and 20 missing. Numbers will undoubtedly change. It did look like the pilots deliberately went for the river to better the odds of survival. At that angle when it hit the bridge I felt sure all on board were goners.

verticalflyer 11 #6 February 4, 2015 At least dozen out according to news and footage from the river looked like complete lossof power of aoa this aircraft barely missed pancaking the road and very lucky to have gone in shallow river.Dont just talk about it, Do it!

JohnMitchell 16 #9 February 4, 2015 I heard the pilots radioed a mayday of "engine flameout". Would that be the loss of one or both? With one, you should be able to fly but the margin of performance may be very slim. Glad to hear there were some survivors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With one, you should be able to fly but the margin of performance may be very slim. Glad to hear there were some survivors. Good question. It looked like the plane was flying level when it entered the video, but I do think the pilots figured the river was a better place to land, but damn!

With one, you should be able to fly but the margin of performance may be very slim. The margin should not be that slim on a modern transport category aircraft. The aircraft in question was delivered last year. At a total guess: they radioed an engine out, but the video shows both props spinning. If they failed to feather the flamed-out engine, that would explain the stall and roll. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Improper execution of EPs. I've heard a few stories of crashed simulators by ATPs in an engine-out-on-takeoff situation. Not everyone does everything correctly every time.

theplummeter 15 #19 February 4, 2015 ryoderLost port engine then Vmc roll? Left engine appears to be feathered (most likely the result of an automatic system at that altitude) so that's probably a decent guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irishrigger 32 #20 February 4, 2015 looks to me that left engine was out. that looks very much like a stall because of slow airspeed. it also seems that the plane was still trying to climb intially with one engine out. i heard a report that they reached almost a 1000 feet. No matter what its amazing that anyone survived this. latest i hear about 25 poeple walked a away from this horor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
