Fatigue theory over Islander air rescue deaths

[The Rage]

Put it to rest gentlemen,

Its sometimes not very nice to say that he should have done this or that, they are gone and their loved ones could be reading this. How would they feel? I knew Guy in training school, so maybe this might be a bit of an emmotional post. Let them rest in peace.

Iceing?

Thanks for that feedback. It was a long while ago, so my memory may be in error. However, I have the report somewhere & will just check.

I take your point about differing types but the thread is seeking an explanation for a piston twin hitting the water unexpectedly, during approach. If the engines stopped, that would do it no?

Anyhow, I bow to your superior knowledge, I've never flown a either type.

Sorry "the rage" - but if discussion on a forum such as this prevents a similar accident then let everyone speak freely. We've all lost friends in air accidents - but that my dear chap is the way the world turns...

Sorry white knight but if you have to rely on a forum like this to appreciate and understand carb icing then you should not be flying the beast concerned.
Please have a regard for the deceased's relatives and friends.
Thats all that is being asked!

Cheers
