Hi I have read these threads and avoided posting as not only have I flown the aircraft that crashed but flew with the Pilot who was killed.

The pilot was a cool character who came to flying after pressure deep diving for the oil companies. He had a lot of experience on type, was single pilot rated.

The aircraft before it was sold was always well maintained and when I flew her she flew like a dream.

I hope the accident investigators find a cause other than an engine failure as that alone should not bring a citation down.

My concern is that there isnt enough left of the wreckage to 100% determine a cause and only the pilots might know when the plot was lost.

Guesswork here isnt going to add anything as we all try to imagine scenarios where such a situation may occur.

Yes we hope some reason is found because otherwise its a case of there for the grace of god go I and we all need the reasons avoidable or unavoidable.
