US EditionTSB Rules Out Weather, Mechanical Issues in B.C. Plane Crash that Killed 3
- In October 2023, a small Piper PA-34-200 Seneca aircraft lost control and collided with trees near Chilliwack, B.C., resulting in the deaths of all three individuals on board.
- Officials from the Canadian agency responsible for transportation safety were unable to identify the exact maneuver being performed as the aircraft neared the airport and subsequently rolled.
- The investigation found no mechanical issues or flight control problems, and dashcam and wreckage indicate the plane entered a 'minimum control speed' roll.
- Todd Pezer emphasized that maintaining control speed is crucial during multi-engine training because flying at low speeds or experiencing uneven engine power can lead to loss of aircraft control.
- The Transportation Safety Board recommends instructors ensure safe altitude and airspeed during multi-engine training because rolls can cause significant height loss and control risks.
