Provo Phenom 300 crash 3rd Jan 2023
Anyone with more specifics about this crash on Jan 3, 2023 ?
Given the pictures it is amazing that 2 passengers walked form it ! |
Unofficial reports mention ground personnel observing the jet on takeoff roll, airborne only a few feet, then one wing dropping and striking the ground, sort of cartwheeling. Weather was light snow all day, 800 foot ceilings. Internet conjecture is that maybe one wing iced up during taxi, or such. RIP

Don't know if this helps?

Trim + flaps wrong settings on a 2 men crew , + a very experienced pilot ? must be something else I would say. ..
Cause was determined as asymmetric wing icing caused by partial melting of a non de-iced wing by the outflow of warm air from the APU as I recall. Aircraft became airborne then rolled inverted. kind regards. TR. |

Doesn't say it was a two man crew, just that there was some one sitting in the copilot seat. It is certified as a single pilot jet.

I'm rather surprised that in the guy's video he doesn't even consider icing as another possible cause.

It was the owner, who unfortunately did not survive the crash. I don’t think he was certified for this aircraft.

Owner flown with a non pilot friend in the right seat.
Appears to be a relatively new aircraft which was registered mid last year with likely a type just prior to it. Maybe tail icing, maybe trim issues, maybe a frozen trim, maybe flap setting. Bad weather. |
