Lessons to be learned from Myanmar crash?
There may have been several accidents that are all covered under thisthread. The very interesting article from Bangkok Post that tistisnot isreferring to, relates to a private operator who was contracted to go out toMyanmar to look for two missing mountaineers.
Lessons to be learnt?
- Inadvertent flight in to IMC.
- ELT didn't deploy (has happened before)
- Despite operating on the most remote and inhospitable environment,apparently no satellite tracking (such as Spyder Tracks) was used to monitorthe flight
- No crew member (all of which survived the initial crash) was carrying apersonal emergency locator beacon.
As a result it took 11 days to find the surviving crew members.
