This came from a mate of a mate in WA.
Seems the PAX were happy to provide first aid to the pilot who saved their lives. I wonder if there were scissors in that first aid box that would otherwise be considered a terrorist threat?? Makes you wonder.
Allegedly the crankshaft failed between 3&4 cyl while in level flt at 5500' AMSL. I think this might have a TC IO520 in it and I wonder if this is one of the engines that had the dodgy cranks, or is it just unfortunate?
Anyhow its a job well done when you consider what it could have been.
Cheers
