Aircraft is Air Sanga PAC-750XL, P2-ASZ, apparently parked in a position that renders the airstrip closed. Repairs required to fly aircraft out.
PNG AIC will have their hands full with 2 helicopter ditching's and the Air Tractor accident.

It would appear from the brief review to date that:-
The pilot failed to cancel SAR after the accident which resulted in an INCERFA Phase
The pilot failed to notify ATC even by HF radio
ATC appears to have notified CASA
CASA appears to have notified the AIC, over a period of a few days.
You would have to wonder if the CP is in control of the company, and what the CEO and QAS department are doing or NOT doing.
With two Twin Otters (ASL), (ASM) and a Cessna C206 ?? and a rather bent if not written off PAC, you would think someone is in charge of Ops?

Then again, the Jungles Folk are far more easy going than Highlanders.

the 750 was going to be lifted out of there this week sometime with a Mil 8 and bought back to POM.
Pilot had a 'rich cut' of the engines just after landing and the brakes could not hold the airframe sliding off the wet grass strip into the bush!
Have some photos somewhere of the a/c slung below a helicopter coming back to Moresby. Will try to find them.
I think if the underwriter, assuming the aircraft is insured, takes a deep breath and then reflects upon the issue at hand; probably close to being a write off?
New prop ?, new or overhauled power turbine as a minimum, new firewall, new nose landing gear assembly?
Small issues; the real problem is; YA GOTTA TO HAVE AN ENGINEER …………. whom is capable of undertaking the task! Put it in a box send it to New Zealand, if you can find the money.

I think the RAAF lost a Caribou in a landing accident at Efogi about 12 years ago just before they retired the aircraft type.
Parts of the remains of the wreckage was left at the old international terminal at POM before it was eventually demolished.
Not the first time an aircraft has been bent there, probably won’t be the last either.

Any updates on status of 750XL?
Does any one have any updates on the 750XL at EFOGI?
How does one get in touch with someone at Air Sanga?
They seem to do a pretty good job of hiding.
