Yeah, if it was as simple as fuel you'd think they could got some from Broome (25kms?) and removed the aircraft from the road before nightfall?

Great job by the crew from what my western mates tell me. Every one you walk away from.
|
Information I have is row 0A didn’t contribute to the issue but DID successfully forced land the aircraft.

Ok, so we have several people happy to tell us what didn't cause the issue; given that the aircraft was apparently flown off within a day, the gingerbeers must know what did bring it down or it would have left on a truck. In the absence of any other explanation, it is difficult to avoid speculating that a meatware issue is the most likely cause.

ATSB make no mention of fuel exhaustion, just that both engines failed. Given that it has reportedly been flown out, someone must know the cause.
“The ATSB is investigating a dual engine failure and forced landing involving a Cessna 441, VH-LBY, at 39 km East of Broome Airport, Western Australia, on 2 March 2018. During descent into Broome Airport, the right then left engines began to surge. The pilot shut down the right engine and made a mayday call. Shortly after, the left engine failed and the pilot conducted a forced landing on the Great Northern Highway. There was no reported damage to the aircraft. The pilot and passengers were not injured. As part of the investigation, the ATSB will interview the pilot and obtain engineering information. Should a critical safety issue be identified during the course of the investigation, the ATSB will immediately notify those affected and seek safety action to address the issue A final report will be released at the conclusion of the investigation.” |
Well executed go around by the 4WD

A final report will be released at the conclusion of the investigation. CC |
There's not that many reasons why engines "surge"..... ;)
|
Both engines..??
|
Both engines "failed" ?? Give me a break - both engines surged and stopped - now I wonder what could have caused that ?? Not many possibilities I would have thought !!
|
I might be a pax spilled cans of coke over the engine computers. |
Not many possibilities I would have thought !! That's why you have to investigate - I do note that the company have stated that it wasn't simple fuel exhaustion. |
