Turbo....those "claims" of Fire were made based upon news reports "Quoting Authorities"....as was stated at the time of the post.

I give as much credence to FAA Preliminary Reports as I do News Reports....and you would too if you had much experience with them.

Wait for the full report before you hang your hat on what is reported being exactly accurate.

This one may be closer to fact than some as they apparently had the benefit of the Airport Surveillance Video which would have given them a good view of the entire sequence.

I shall wait to read of the reporting about the state of the Air Frame and any comments it will have re fire.

I think we can accept there was no catastrophic fire as we have seen in so many Astar Crashes. At this point we do not know if this particular aircraft had the standard or crashworthy fuel Tank installed do we?
