Hot Climate Pilots and a Cold Climate Crash

I happened to be in the office of the owner of a GA operation in Bangkok Thailand a few days ago.

He operates a number of aircraft including four Piper Chieftans.

It should have been five but his last aircraft crashed near Wick in Scotland enroute from Seattle to Bangkok.

The report makes interesting reading. It was suggested to me the way the crew operated the engines led to their demise.

Both engines failed with nearly identical mechanical issues and at almost the same time.

The clue is in the header of this thread. The ferry crew were both Thai.

Here is the AAIB report.
