A recent report by Canada's Transportation Safety Board reveals that a fatal plane crash near Chilliwack, B.C., was likely caused by the aircraft's low speed. The crash, which claimed the lives of three individuals, occurred when the plane rolled and collided with trees. Investigators highlighted the importance of maintaining adequate speed to prevent such incidents.
Investigators with Canada's Transportation Safety Board say a small plane crashed near Chilliwack, B.C., killing all three onboard. The report suggests the plane was not going fast enough when it rolled into trees. The crash occurred during a training exercise, and dashcam footage indicates a 'minimum control speed' roll before impact. Uneven engine power and low speed were factors. No flight control or mechanical issues were found. Instructors are advised to ensure safe altitude and airspeed during multi-engine training.
