| Jeff,
Read what I wrote. I wrote that it "seams to be engine failure". That's not a conclusion certain of anything. That is based on what witnesses on the scene saw and heard, and what the press has stated.
The key is to learn from these sad events, at all stages.
I don't feel I need to put my head in the sand until all the evidence is in to start to makes some basic conclusions of what happened.
Kevin Kossi Legacy N77PX
Both seam to be engine failures. So sad....
My condolences to the families and friends. Don't be so certain about both being engine failures. The 320 in Nebraska does not say it is an engine failure just that the egnine slowed then speeded up and then the pilot spun it in. Conclusion? The Legacy crashed on its first flight. There were reports of erratic engine operation from eyewitnesses but the same was true of Dave Hickman's crash last year and the Chelton data in Hickman's accident showed the fuel flow was dialed up so high (greater than 50 gph) the engine could not run. Remember you must set up your fuel system correctly to operate safely before first flight. TCM has a service bulletin on this. Don't jump to conclusions before the evidence is in.
