The salutary example provided by Advance Airlines (if memory serves me correct) at Sydney twenty odd years ago must have passed from collective memory. It hit the sea wall killing all on board. EFATO.

Other factors as well, including autofeather disconnected on the two Kingairs that had it out of the fleet of three for purpose of standardisation. Unfortunate as the crash A/C was equipped.

Also unfortunate was no headset, requiring the use of a handmike during assymetric flight and a lot of back and forth with the controller due a 727 landing negating a 180 deg return to the R/W

A BIGGY in the BASI report though was the use of reduced power T/Os.
