Hi,
I've been following this thread and the initial thread any more details?, with regard to my job and procedures, we have all been taught to just return if you have a engine failure at or after v1, in the case of the pa31 it did happen up near Richmond the only thing i can say is maybe he couldn’t visually see Richmond airport? there were reports of fog in the area according to the initial report, so why wouldn't he just return to YBSK? I would have done the same as this young pilot RIP mate
,
remoak,
Even if the pa31 couldn't for some reason maintain height and Richmond was fogged in why would u try an approach there if u know you can’t get it and risk doing a 1 engine missed approach from there at a aerodrome you are unfamiliar with when he knew Ybsk was relativity clear.
Just be 2 cents worth
