TRK CL60 Crash
|
Death toll is up to 6, 2 pilots and 4 pax. Remains are in such a condition that only DNA will be able to ID them.
There's a video interview with a school bus driver on YouTube. His bus with kids in it was very nearly hit during the crash. |
Tahoe in the summer, probable cause usually involves density altitude but presumably a CL crew wouldn't fall for that.

This info was in today's AIN email. I hate to say it but the cause is starting to look pretty obvious, hopefully I'm wrong:
Preliminary flight tracking data shows the aircraft crossing over the extended Runway 11 centerline at 148 knots, about 300 feet above the terrain, less than a mile from the threshold, and descending at 1,125 fpm. The data also shows the aircraft banking in an apparent attempt to recapture the heading for a short final. |
Never flown the type, what’s generally your Vref and what speed you normally circle at?
Is it Cat C/D as far as circling mins/speeds are concerned? I’ve been told previous jet arrival requested the RNAV 11, ATC push you to do the 20 circle to 11? |

Fair to say you’re Cat C for circling?
Saying that as Cat D is NA…. |

Saying that as Cat D is NA…. -605 is Cat C as noted. if circling puts them above 140 then they 'should' fly at Cat D but it isn't a must anymore. From another forum: https://nbaa.org/aircraft-operations...ed-procedures/ |
So, accelerated stall while turning final?
Though we learned this lesson. |
