Twin Otter Crash 

Overloaded It was actually wrong for the pilot to take off from here with ANY load. The company had permision to keep the plane here, but was supposed to take the Otter to another strip, nearby, to load up.

Comments are back on for now... ignorant crap will be filtered /rejected.

There is an old hi tensile wire telephone line that the pilot was trying to avoid , hence the pre-mature turn/wing tip drag and the subsequent stall.

i'd say a drum of fuel shifted...he looks like he's loaded

pilot error. looked heavy. if that is the case this crash was set in motion before the engines were started. which happens alot.

If he can't take off with any load, how do they get it in and out..have they pt6's that run on air?

Looks like an awfully long run for a twotter for a flap 20 takeoff. Must have been a really high altitude or a tail wind by the looks of it.

You would have to try pretty hard to crash an otter espiecally like this. I would have just used the road, load or not.

looks like he was too heavy

was every one all right?

Looks to be over weight!

they are made for takeoffs from bad runways

exactly

Cant tell if the flaps were set

Like senor says.

Now that makes sense... Otherwise he should have made it!

on load sheets fuel is part of the payload ...ass
