This is a very upsetting report as it maybe one of those accidents which has no clear reason.
Most of the aircraft was detroyed so not a lot to go on.
Witnesses who contradict each other. ie some said the gear was up, some down. Some said the engines were running at high power some said the engines were not running.
Now with what they do have left of the engines No double bird strike, no major engine failure.
So what would cause a citation which is a doddle to fly engine out to crash when in level flight and not just after takeoff.
For those of us who Fly citations and especially a 500 as I do I know that I would really like to know a conclusive reason especially as both pilots were experienced and competant.
