Apparently the pilot was told to hold west of the highway at 4000(which is too far away from airport if the fan stops). He then made his way in but ran into trouble on final. Good job H, sorry if I made it sound like that you just stuffed up and was too low on approach. Not sure why skydivers didn't get out, I assume it happened too low and were over tiger country. 2 instructors on board with AFF and B-Rel students. Pilot was only tested that morning for booze and drugs, all clear.
Engine(TCM IO550) had only done about 50 hours from factory rebuilt. Still no clue on what caused the stoppage, I guess we will have to wait for the reports. And no, I don't think they ran out of fuel before anyone suggests it. They had at least 100 litres of fuel on board before takeoff, more than enough including reserves for the sortie
