The instructor involved with the Duchess practice engine failure (mixture cut) fatal crash was quite experienced with over 30,000 hours and the Boeing 767 Air Canada captain in the left seat of that Duchess undergoing the instrument rating renewal was less experienced with only 16,000 hours...
Was that at Camden at night and bad weather ?.
How do you know it was a mixture cut ?, by my recollection the ATSB didn't know, how is it you know ?.
Investigation: 200300224 - Beech Aircraft Corp 76, VH-JWX
Either way you wont find me doing that at night ( mixture or throttle ).
I'm part of the school that still thinks stall / spin training is important. Ditto, I think the experience of a simulated EFATO at low altitude done once is indelibly etched in the memory and an important part of multi training.
100% agree.
