PC-12 Down in South Dakota, 9 killed
#21
i didn’t mention the ice because it’s not factual at this point. I shouldn’t have mentioned the load either, because that’s not factual either. Poor wording on my part.
Intent with my post was to straighten out the talk of “It holds 11pax”. This model did not. Very few North American operators order it with the utilitarian commuter 9 Seat config and instead opt for the 6, 6+2, or 8 seat cabin. (6+2 is 6 exec seats with 2 smaller, removable Jumpseat’s in the rear).
From what I gather, normal company pilot was not on board and was instead flown by the owner who was much less experienced.
Now, to step into my quarterback uniform, I think we all know how this is gonna play out: inexperience+contamination=accident.
