Air Tahoma Crash

Yes it should have both a CVR and FDR. But the power sources are not all that failsafe so they may have been interrupted depending on the circumstances.

i doubt they were working....

Sad news

I seem to recall something about legal threats against Flightinfo by Air Tahoma.

Anyways, looked at the article and the names, here is a webpage of the captain

This is sad news indeed, especially when you put a face to the name. I didn't know any of these gentlemen, but I just looked at Captain Urs Anderegg's website and it really saddens me to think that someone with so much experience went down so tragically. It could of been any of us guys out there. Be careful out there guys!! My prayers go out to these guys and their families.

If you look at FlightAware, that airplane had not flown since June, makes you wonder.

prolly down for MX maybe a C-check.

Looking at his webpage made me very sad. A true aviator; nothing less.

God bless.

3 people killed in small plane crash near Columbus

not to take away from the tragedy that this is but really? The reporters think a CV is a "small plane"

i love the media........

In SLIGHT defense of the media, when you hear about a plane crash with only 3 fatalities and no Fedex boxes strewn across the countryside, you think small plane. That is no excuse for poor research, just playing devils advocate a little.

(Oh, and nothing against Fedex, just needed a brand to stick in there that the media is familiar with)

I thought the same thing when I saw his webpage. That guy seemed like he'd been there and done that several times over. It's really a shame.

To blame the company for this without any shread of knowledge about he accident is like blaming the passengers for pushing the crew on another thread.
This was a training flight, we do not know who was sitting where, we know the instructor had been there for two years and knew the aircraft, they did not think they had a severe problem initially, and yet the aircraft obviously did not fly. While I don't know the 580, I would imagine just an engine out that did not feather would be a challenge with the size o f those blades.
Sooner or later we will find out what went wrong.

I have flown the 580 and had an excellent ground school on the airframe. Plus almost a 1000 hours in it. It is a fine aircraft that makes all the other commuter turboprops look second best. However, if the prop will not feather, you are SOL! But the prop system is a very simple system and I have not heard of one not feathering. If the rudder cables are not properly adjusted, with an engine out you are SOL! And that has happened at least once.

I have flown 580's that have sat for 6 months. They flew fine, just a few minor Hydraulic leaks and some avionics issues. After a week or so, they went away.

Maintenance items that you can let slide in the 340/440, you can't in the 580. The increased weight, speed and power don't allow for that.

The propellor a6441fn by areoproducts is actually a rather complex device when it comes to modern-style propellors, however the operation side is easy..if the autofeather system fails, then th NTS system will coarsen the blades to the point of no existing drag..if it goes low blade angle, it should pitch-lock..all speculation...i'd be inclined to speculate on some sort uncontrollable airframe malfunction given the experience of the crew..

Great Aviators, sorry to hear that. Air Tahoma = Air to a Tombstone. I get sick every time I hear of these guys, another crash, more people trying to put food on thier tables or pay obligations die, and for what?

Air Tahoma or Air Tombstone should be shut down. There is already too much blood paid out as there is.

I don't know the crew personally but I remember sharing a van ride to the custom in MIA with Mr. Urs on several occasion. A true aviator, my deep respect to everyone involved and to their families...
