NHV 155 Norwich Drama
Very surprised at blanket of silence that has managed to be pulled over this one.....added to fact that we would probably never hear of the important lessons to be learnt as "OO" -registered aircraft incident report will probably never see the light of day here in UK.
Aircraft takes off from Airport into known icing conditions (as confirmed by landing traffic and met).
Requests descent inside zone after picking up icing.
Atc unable to comply as aircraft below msa etc etc.
Descends imc with own terrain clearance.
Goes offshore (where cloud base higher) - next we hear is that it has diverted into North Denes.
Subsequently an engine flames out and it recovers back into Norwich single engine.
No fault found with engine - as I expect the cause had probably melted !
My assumption as we will not get to read the report............
All I know is that it was not the usual pilot and I was too chicken to go flying that day!
