Moremi Air seems to be having a lot more incidents/ accidents than other operators in Maun, and yes I was flying a C206 around the Delta at the same time that A2-DOG was destroyed. Nothing much seems to have changed since then and few lessons have been learnt.

What does concern me is the reliability of the Pratt & Witney PT6 engine and the rate of recent engine failures on the Cessna 208 Caravan. I think this year Mack Air had an engine failure on takeoff out of Piajio in January and about 3 years ago Sefofane also had a problem on the takeoff roll but stopped in time.

Does anyone have any background knowledge on the PT6 powerplant and know of any problems they have experienced in the past ie A.D.s etc. ?

Regards,

Rico
