Yeezy Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 This is scary, sounds like everything was done right. Couldn't be picked up on a pre flight or maintenance, was wearing a helmet and seatbelt, had already released the load. Is there any learnings to take away from this? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSC1 Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 This accident has some semblance to this one back in 2015 https://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/aviation/2015/a15c0146/a15c0146.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diaper_Pin Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 Having spent most of my career flying various birds powered by C20's and C20R's. This doesn't exactly give me a warm fuzzy feeling. If you get my drift. Not to mention that the wheel replacement is "Recommended" at overhaul, NOT mandatory. And if an operator chooses not to replace the wheel at overhaul. And then said wheel fails and kills people. Are they not liable then? What price do you put on a life(s)????

twinstar_ca Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 If you think safety is expensive, wait till you have an accident/fatality... replace the wheel.... IMO😲😔 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
