Wow!!! 38 Seconds with one overtemp light on and 12 seconds with both on. Yes those red lights on the top of engine instrument panel with the big words ENGINE OV TEMP next to them meaning you are operating at 962 +3 -2.

Now that is a lot of time to react and bring the power back to max continuous (940) is it not?

Wow !! look at the power plant indications, 999 degrees for 38 seconds(from the report) the markings only go to one thousand.



SAAB 340 ITT indicator (digital readout component blank).


Classic case of inexperienced captain on type (yes/no)
Classic case of low total time (yes/no)
Classic case of pilot shortage equals promote quick (yes/no)
Classic case of early promotion insufficient training (yes/no)
Classic case of poor aircraft knowledge (yes/no)
Classic case of poor aircraft handling (yes/no)
Classic case of poor CRM (yes/no)
Fantastic case study for expensive mistakes and above factors (yes/no)


Ok, now who out there, much closer to what actually happened scored yes to at least seven of the yes / no answers?

Sad thing is this handling error cost a lot of money and time to the company resources.
Cant help think it has in some way contributed towards ******s poor financial position at present.
