I question if you actually read the reports and engineering evaluations yourself? I didn't mention that the engine expert said that the engine wasn't running when the crash occurred. How does he know this? Years of experience my friend. Oil in oil filters, impact forces, etc, etc.

So the Chief Pilot engages a suitably qualified expert engineer to investigate further and all of a sudden it becomes a shift of blame to mechanical issues? Your comments make a mockery of the good name of the engineers that were contracted to perform this analysis

I'm not suggesting that pictures posted on PPrune should be used as any form of evidence, however experienced the pilot that took them. The fact that the propellor was barely damaged was evidence enough. Channel 9 ran the full story, complete with engineer testimonials. Perhaps I can also put you in touch with the engineer, who mind you, also has well over 10,000 hours as an ATPL...
