Yes, the pilot descended below minimums but she did so because she had the runway in sight, which is NOT a minimums "bust". And if your flight path elevation there is correct (not saying it isn't), 4,365 is below the MDA of 4,560 so all pilots would have visual conditions before reaching it by simply following the MDA protocol.Here is the record for the stack she hit, obstruction #16-036731.16-036731 O US ID HEYBURN 42 33 05.92N 113 45 34.15W STACK 1 00100 04256 R 4 D P 2016ANM01617OE A 2017285Full stack record discussion showing the source data origin, how to decode the obstacle record and a position verification to be certain of the correct match by mapping the 42 33 05.92N 113 45 34.15W location is already posted up thread. In her job as Commissioner Doris is in the forefront of efforts to retain the very busy Santa Monica airport which is threatened by a very small but vocal group of neighbors and an unsympathetic City Council. Previous day, the aircraft had to divert to Twin Falls. Did you notice the color of the smoke stack? Every banality gets analyzed superficially and repackaged as advice or fear. All GA pilots should know that a plume of steam vapour and condensate is a concentrated convective cell storm. Hiring requires vetting and training. It would be more enlightening if you pointed out that due to TERPS, the only approach that could be approved was a non-precision LNAV with no vertical guidance and a steep 3.75 descent angle due to the silos and other obstructions. When I look at Google Earth and that smoke stack it obvious it was only a matter of time before that stack met a plane trying to make the runway. How could it be said now that either of them wanted it closed? Granbury reports they didn't see (post crash): KGDJ 050255Z AUTO 14008KT 5SM BR OVC007 11/10 A3009 RMK AO2 T01050098,M By Plane and Pilot Updated August 12, 2021 Save Article. He also attempted to do a recreation of the approach into KBYI by scud-running with a non-IFR rated pilot, seemingly violating cloud clearance requirements and also not making any calls on the CTAF frequency during his approach. you think it's unreasonable for a pilot to descend to a standard 3.0 degree glidepath once they have the runway in sight?When the glidepath specified on the approach is 3.75 degrees, yes, yes I do. She not only saw the best in people, she brought out the best in people. There are less than 4,000 feet available for landing. A couple sleeping in the house narrowly . Tubers meaning starchy root vegetables like potatoes? About 1 minute later, the controller asked the pilot if she had crossed the initial approach fix. Gray light is the worst, and that sort of snow just is impossible to see through clearly. The best option for them is to create an entirely new airport in a different location, something they need FAA funding for, and to run the airport the City of Burley is seeking to establish an airport authority.From over a year ago: https://www.kmvt.com/2021/02/26/the-fate-of-the-burley-municipal-airport-continues-to-be-uncertain/. These facts were demonstrated to tragic effect on March 15, 2012. The left wing, from the strut outboard, separated from the airplane and came to rest about 500 feet northeast of the main wreckage. Welcome back, Kathryn's Report! Second, if ANYTHING needs to be checked up, how about checking up our FEDERAL GOVERNMENT in WASHINGTON with out of control wasteful spending on taxpayer AND borrowed freaking MONEY!!!! "I'm not sure why you are mentioning LPV minimums, because the RNAV (GPS) RWY 20 approach into BYI is just an LNAV category approach, not LPV. Fourth or fifth day on the job, in good weather, she crash landed one of our 'Vans onto a runway, totally wrecking it. The PT-6 has a world wide reputation for reliability and resilience even under adverse atmospheric conditions. Amazingly, the flight could have succeeded all things else considered.The onus would appear to be on the plant and surrounding politics in this instance. If you were a pilot you would know that warm/wet air has very little lift. Operating Certificate(s) Held: Commuter air carrier (135), Observation Facility, Elevation: KBYI,4143 ft msl, Distance from Accident Site: 1 Nautical Miles, Wind Speed/Gusts, Direction: 8 knots / , 190, Departure Point: Salt Lake City, UT (SLC), Latitude, Longitude: 42.551433,-113.75969. The FAA is expected to release the preliminary results of their investigation in the coming days. The pilot was transported to a local hospital where their condition remains unknown. The case of the young flight school instructor who got bashed against his Cherokee panel comes to mind. What are you running with? )Investigators have the task of figuring out why the descent angle increased to 6.5 in the final 21 seconds/2,650 feet horizontal travel distance of flight. Here is street view of the one hit AND the group of six:https://goo.gl/maps/WeoRjbGZmZXoMTCc7This photo of the six is from the 2018 Town News article:https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/magicvalley.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/b/c2/bc27f097-bd84-53a5-aeb6-2da8c0892dd7/5a7a51136f27f.image.jpg?resize=785%2C500The 2018 Town News article itself:https://magicvalley.com/gem-state-processing-provides-jobs-inclusive-plant-culture/article_94ba4fdd-39fa-5288-9562-597369987652.htmlThose stacks have been on the roof at least four years. "still baffling how one of them died. It is possible that the Pratt and Whitney PT-6-114A, 675 shp Turbine engine experienced a flameout which would result in an immediate loss of power and subsequent descent. MARLIN, Texas (KTRK) -- Two people dead after a Cessna TU206 crashed Tuesday afternoon in Marlin, Texas. Presumably, the decision to descend from cruise altitude for BYI on the accident day followed similar protocol.Let's look at the METARs available for making the real-time decision on each of those two days:The divert from BYI to Twin Falls on the day before the accident shows up as a turn toward TWF underway at 14:52:44 Z. poor maintenance blamed for cessna 337 crash. Firefighters had to partially tow the aircraft out of the surf to prevent it from washing away. Look at the Blancolirio video on YT, he shows where they were in relation to the runway. Cessna 210-5 (205), N8149Z: Fatal accident occurred December 04, 2022 near Cleburne Regional Airport (KCPT), Johnson County, Texas . Messages that harass, abuse or threaten other persons, such as threats to cause bodily harm, or that contain obscene or otherwise objectionable content, may result in the loss of your posting privileges. The pilot and three passengers, including the pilot's wife, were killed when the plane entered an uncontrolled descent, suffered an in-flight breakup and crashed near Hayden, Alabama. The survey segment of the flight commenced about 14 km to the northwest of the airport and was conducted at a height of about 200 ft above . The "Gem State Potato Processing Plant" blanches, cooks, and mashes potatoes 24/7. "Same document, regarding high intensity flashing white obstruction lights during daytime with automatically selected reduced intensities for twilight and nighttime operations:"should not be recommended on structures 500 feet (153m) AGL or less unless an FAA aeronautical study shows otherwise."https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC%2070%207460-1K.pdf. The crash happened in shallow surf around 3:15 p.m. A witness captured video showing the Cessna 150A gradually dropping from the sky, hitting the sand and then flipping over not far from beachgoers. I guarantee that the energy output that industrial plant is emitting into the atmosphere would rival the output of any heavy category aircraft. Messages that harass, abuse or threaten other persons, such as threats to cause bodily harm, or that contain obscene or otherwise objectionable content, may result in the loss of your posting privileges. Perhaps this was the pilot's first flight to Burley, or an infrequent stop?Other measures for safety and possible fatigue: No snake river or other possible, large visual cue in sight? According to a witness, located about one quarter mile away, he first heard, then observed the airplane descend out of the clouds then immediately went into a steam cloud, which was produced from a set of six smokestacks located on the same roof. The crash wasn't a result of a tower appearing out of nowhere, but an airplane appearing where it shouldn't be. However, this data alone does not provide the basis for a determination regarding the. Main point is that a smokestack directly below and that close to the approach path is a really bad idea whether it's 61' or 109' because there's an inadequate safety factor. Besides, every "pilot" who mentions how "slow" an aircraft was flying based on these data have lost complete credibility and their opinions are not relevant. There is still data needed to determine amount of fuel in tanks. No civilians were reported injured on the beach, officials added. It takes a lot of practice even when you know exactly what you are looking at. Interesting read, what a tragedy. Thus, the top of the stack would be 120ft AGL relative to the runway threshold, due to the first assumption. Hi, thanks for the info and the link. You don't have any vertical guidance at all, so if you're a bit low for whatever reason you don't know it then you're dead. Too bad comments on here are closed for that accident. That's a stark contrast not likely to be mistaken for anything else. folks in charge of choosing these airports are not always aware of the dangers of choosing these airports for daily scheduled flights in all weather conditions. The location where the witness was viewing from is a significant factor for interpreting what is reported as seen. Add a loss of power situation and see how you come out. A very strange UPS A300 crash in Birmingham was never assigned a direct cause - just CFIT below minimums. There are less than 4,000 feet available for landing. At the least, the isolated stack should have been brightly illuminated using LEDs, and painted with alternating yellow and black rings along its entire height. Begin final portion of descent to the runway numbers. Burley is considering a new airport location:https://www.idahostatejournal.com/news/local/burley-ready-to-move-forward-with-new-airport-project-asks-counties-for-support/article_5a0c977c-3015-5dec-bd16-35979dfa8cdf.html, This is probably the hardest commercial flying job around Pilot is the third most dangerous job.Fatal injuries per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers: 58.9https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/27/the-10-most-dangerous-jobs-in-america-according-to-bls-data.htmlRenowned airshow performer Eric Beard also died as a freight dog pilot.https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/?date=20060108&slug=webpilot08YouTube https://youtu.be/LivNwDABHdwNTSB https://generalaviationnews.com/2006/09/22/ntsb-cites-pilot-error-in-january-airpac-crash/. . I'd be the same. Piper PA 31 Navajo Wikipedia FedEx FedEx Express Introduces New Feeder Aircraft May 14th, 2018 - Modernization of feeder fleet continues with Cessna SkyCourier 408 designed . I can't understand why this approach even exists. The aircrafts surfaces will be substantially sub-zero, and the droplets snap-freeze on them, further cutting lift. Applying the full +50 feet of declared tolerance to 100' AGL and 4,256' MSL takes 50 feet out of the 79' and 89' foot clearance numbers leaving pass-over clearances of just 13 and 23 feet.What a can of worms. Robert Ray Goins was pronounced dead at the scene while Nathaniel T. Farris was seriously injured and transported to an area hospital for medical treatment after the vehicles they were driving collided just . Brittney lived life to its fullest. Here are links to the Weather.gov Icing page containing the text block where the "starter" typo originated and the FAA's Flight in Icing Conditions circular:https://www.weather.gov/source/zhu/ZHU_Training_Page/icing_stuff/icing/icing.htmhttps://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC_91-74B.pdf. Private Jet Sales Exclusive Aircraft. The dope pilot flew away from the airport for some time after declaring an emergency. Not enough time for the air frame to ice up from steam. Better yet, how about a test of your instrument skill set with added emergencies? Crashed at 8:32 AM. At the processing plant she is less than 1/2 mile out and should have the runway in sight and been scanning between the avionics and outside. Even a slight gust can carry the rising steam from the potato plants six stacks into the 3.75 approach path. After a 1.5-year investigation, the NTSB could not provide an exact reason for why the pilot became . The collision smokestack is 2,639' from the threshold (measured on Google Earth). So short that they don't meet FAA safety standards. If you knew how an ASOS worked, you'd know it wasn't anything to do with being in IMC. That building and stack was constructed relatively recently. From the Flight Aware track log from 10:31:37 EDT to 10:32:04 EDT, a timeframe of 27 seconds, the plane lost 22 knots of ground speed and lost 300 feet in altitude. At just before noon high elevation. Oh boy Couple years ago we hired an attractive young lady, a flight instructor what does her looks have to do with being a pilot? When the airport manager says things to you like "it don't look good to me I don't know what you guys are thinkin'." )Would a C208 pilot purposely establish/maintain the almost 50 knot slower accident approach speed after encountering the plume on the first approach? Maybe make runway lights magenta, leave the centerline green. So using the very unscientific method of looking at the Foreflight 3D airport view to visualize a KBYI runway 30 approach at a standard 3.0 degree descent angle, it is clear that those stacks are pretty much directly in your path. If she didn't hit the tower, she would of hit the parking lot. Turbine engines are especially vulnerable. If she was at MDA at that moment, then the average descent angle from VMC to tower is close to 9 degrees. I estimated that the top of the stack is maybe 150 AGL feet and about 50-60 feet above the building. The National Transportation Safety Board Aviation (NTSB) Accident Preliminary report said poor weather and flying low near a mountain may have impacted the Kekaha airplane crash that happened on . ADS-B does report a GPS altitude (although Flightaware does not show it), however this altitude is height above the ellipsoid, which can vary from true MSL by up to 150 feet depending where in the country you are, and this will also be different than the corrected barometric altitude shown on the pilot's altimeter due to a variety of factors that I won't go into here. Even a small city is a maze of confusing lights at night. The Weather.gov page that contains your copied text paragraph verbatim may have been the origin of all the other bad "starter blade" pastes over the years. Just be honest you go below MIN at uncontrolled who would know about it? That's not saying it isn't a challenging approach but something else was going on here. He is an avid aviator, and his wife, Doris, is a member of the Ninety-Nines, the international organization of women pilots." Your top of stack AGL estimate is off somehow - the building roof would have to be 90 feet high. I drove by there this afternoon and there is a stack to the right of the wreckage that is dented and the ladder is damaged. The real-life nature of what transpired reveals a complete pilot disregard for a multitude of no-go factors and specifically communicated warnings.https://data.ntsb.gov/Docket/Document/docBLOB?ID=13775462&FileExtension=pdf&FileName=CEN20FA022_CVR_Report_RELEASE-Rel.pdfDocket:https://data.ntsb.gov/Docket?ProjectID=100636. During the flip, the right horizontal stabilizer contacted something, most likely the roof, but not with much force. Photo of N 928JP is still up on GEM AIR's web site. My guess is in the cold they are creating their own little obscuring weather system. On July 17, 2022, about 1204 pacific daylight time, a Piper PA-46-350P airplane, N97CX, and a Cessna 172N airplane, N160RA, were destroyed when they were involved in an accident near Las Vegas, Nevada. I only have about 8,000 hours behind PT engines, so what do I know? You clearly don't know how ASOS works. A Ninety-Nines newsletter described the judge's wife Doris's successful effort to keep SMO open back when she was on the commission. There is a platform after the first section of ladder where you have to walk over to get to the second section, so that is not a broken ladder, it is the design in the ladder system. Usually the pencil-thin outside air temperature gauge is the first place where ice forms on an airplane. "It doesn't seem like you understand how ASOS works. If you are flying on a very cold day, (like Brittney Infanger), and enter a condensate cloud, you will be blinded and lose lift due to the anomaly of stagnant or descending warm air. https://imgur.com/a/7FTQ82nThe runway has no VASI, PAPI or other visual glidepath aid to indicate that you are dangerously close to hitting those obstacles. RIP. If the pilot was following the 3.75 deg. Flying time at 80 kts ground speed was just 16 sec, break out to tower. If so, should have gone missed a second time. Think logically: If the roof could be seen and descended toward as if it was runway, the Snake river and railroad bridge would be expected to occupy that same view. The now prevalent hatred behaviors were trained into people by subtle but continuous nudging from news media, social media and marketing. "It seems very likely that the Caravan was out of the clouds well before reaching the MDH. ADSB data and Airport Surveillance Cameras are God Sends for looking into aircraft mishaps such as these. Your nonsense responses like "false" with zero explanation demonstrates that you have no actual idea what TERPS, an obstacle clearance surface, and approach minimums are. My condolences to her friends and family. This information is added by users of ASN. Kathryn's Report: Most Read All Time. The Gem plant was described as newly constructed when highlighted in a 2012 upgrade project info page:http://www.roguepump.com/documents/gem-state-processing-case-study.pdf, The Gem Plant in Heyburn shows up at 2010 on the company history timeline, here:https://www.oregonpotato.com/aboutopc/#history, January 2011 news article expected the new plant to be up and running spring or early summer that year:https://www.potatopro.com/news/2011/burleyheyburn-dehydrated-potato-plant-open-early-year. It is a much cruder method of societal control than winning over people by debating and logical analysis. . She was just building hours waiting to get on with a regional. Perhaps the pilot forgot them. Flags in front of City Hall will be lowered to half-staff and a City Council meeting in the new year will be adjourned in honor of Minters service.. But I don't find it baffling that a 95-year-old would not survive the accident. 0. Quickest way to get there Cheapest option Distance between. A pilot is a pilot and she made a mistake and hit something she knew was there. On 29 May 2021, a Cessna 501 Citation I/SP crashed into the Percy Priest Lake in Tennessee. Give it up, she didn't bust minimums she got sucked right into that smokestack by the steam cloud she couldn't get out of in time.This is 100% on the potato plant. Someone else who had similarly flown into BYI many times, made a first approach across the impossible to overcome steam cloud before going missed, came in for the second after sizing it all up thoroughly on the first pass, but continuing until crashing instead of going missed again. With luck there will be a SD card data record to help in understanding. 560XL+ 4 fatal Connecticut. We know the outcome.Don't bust minimums. The POH manual in most light singles states that you don't deploy flaps during an engine out until your aim point can be confirmed to be made just as in regular landing configuration when powered. But that's not our business to judge. The tiny Cessna 210M aircraft with five men on board disappeared somewhere over the NSW Barrington Tops almost 34 years ago - the final, panicked transmissions from its pilot suggesting things . Ground speed has zero to do with how a wing flies. Granted, the winds were strong on the day this video was shot, but I can't imagine it being much worse on a calm day. Yesterday's accident was very unfortunate. As she descended she may have lost sight of the runway. Recent Google Map views show a very sturdy tubular platform and ladder system was added around the stack sometime after 2016. YOU DO NOT NEED TRIG OR OTHER BULL. I think you are attacking the wrong anonymous commenter. This means the potato plant created artificial IFR conditions. "You're aware that the passenger who died was 95 years old (born in 1927). You take 400 divided by 375, you get 1.1 Miles from the runway as a VDP. In the USA people get fed a steady diet of emotionalized and sensationalized TV and other media from an early age on around the clock and everywhere, airports, waiting rooms and especially at home. "What a bunch of BS. "If you knew how an ASOS worked, you'd know it wasn't anything to do with being in IMC. Maybe it was a slow day at the Tater plant, but the "plume of steam vapor" from the stacks shown in the following aviation video seems fairly small and underwhelming. At that point, runway or runway lighting were visible but not necessarily the thin grey stack in between. First of all, when is capitalism EVER unchecked? The obstacle she hit was less than half a mile from the runway and at or below 100 AGL, so unless you think the weather somehow magically decreased to 200 ft ceilings and half a mile vis, she definitely had the runway in sight well before she hit the obstacles, so "busting minimums" was not a factor.If you are focused on approaching a short runway, there is no VSGI to guide you on the required steep non-standard descent angle, it can be easy to miss the grey colored obstacles that don't stand out. The pilot went around on the first approach well before reaching the stacks and also at over 200 feet higher. "typical tuber fandom". [2] )How far is the approach path above the smokestack? The FAA also thinks the runways at Burley are short. It wasn't so long ago that people underestimated the serious effects of wake turbulence as well. Family said "he was a great guy" Must of been a mechanical problem!" LINKS:Kathryn's Report: http://www.kathrynsreport.com/2021/10/fatal-accident-occurred-october-11-2021.html#comment-formVasAviation: https://www.youtube.com/w. "The captains poor performance during the accident flight was consistent with past performance deficiencies in flying nonprecision approaches noted during training; the errors that the captain made were likely the result of confusion over why the profile did not engage, his belief that the airplane was too high, and his lack of compliance with standard operating procedures." Also no PAPI on that runway so no way to determine her glidepath without visual references. Wasn't at night. This accident is missing citations or reference sources. Oh, right--where IS the VDP on this approach? -- Source links --The accident flight:https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N928JP/history/20220413/1300Z/KSLC/KBYIThe diverted flight on April 12:https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N928JP/history/20220412/1300Z/KSLC/KTWFRaw archive METARs for BYI & TWF, 12 & 13 April:https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/cgi-bin/request/asos.py?station=BYI&station=TWF&data=all&year1=2022&month1=4&day1=12&year2=2022&month2=4&day2=14&tz=Etc%2FUTC&format=onlycomma&latlon=no&elev=no&missing=M&trace=T&direct=no&report_type=1&report_type=2, There wasnt a lot of time for the pilot to set up the second approach prior to the really abbreviated vectors to the final approach. Really only SE piston and one helicopter showing on Flightaware. 24 much safer and longer runway which I feel more comfortable with. That's magical thinking to support a flawed theory about busted minimums.The earlier comment just said "short runway", no one said anything about not being able to land a Caravan on it. (Hot air usually rises!) The lowest reported cloud layer was 1500 feet higher than the MDA. Do you think it's unreasonable for a pilot to descend to a standard 3.0 degree glidepath once they have the runway in sight? Kathryn s Report Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 N614SB Fatal. Close up photos clearly show that the tall stack with the yellow ladder was hit. She was going to hit something as that rate was not arrested. OTD in 1997, SilkAir Flight 185 crashes into the Musi River in Indonesia after abruptly diving from its cruise altitude. Runway 20 has one. The obstacle database shows a red light on the stack, but photocell would likely keep it off after sunrise.Watch the Kameraone.com scene video in comments further down, it helps visualize snow fall effects that were still intermittently occurring after ladder trucks arrived. Looking at obstacle markings on the BYI RW20 approach plate, it is interesting to compare to ALL of the HEYBURN-associated obstacles that exist in the current 16-ID.dat obstacle database.Notably, the 4179' obstruction shown by the river at 7th avenue in the inset runway detail of the plate is not in the database, appears to be Gossner's Magic Valley Chalet based on low height and location. Tater plant has more political clout and money then a city owned airport. A highly paid government administrator owns that failure.Perhaps we should instead ask ourselves why our government prints money for the endless series of foreign wars and funding of every new citizen who wades across our southern border but we can't equip these airports with an ILS.Put 14 billion on it. It is easily found on the Internet. a pilot s accident review ebook 2015 inscripciones ceprunsa 2023. mapa aduanero de venezuela; humedales de la costa central del per; nissan repblica dominicana; inscripciones ceprunsa 2023 It shows the end of RWY20 as 4143' at the threshold, and 4160' on the ground beside the potato plant. 1984 Cessna Skylane II 182R. Dead-center. The obstruction database tolerance codes need to be audited in every record to see if declared accuracy limits are being applied to obstructions in approach and departure surface profiles or just the nominal stated elevations are being used.For convenience, here is the decoder link again, with info on decoding the data record starting on the readme pdf's page 5:https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/digital_products/dof/media/DOF_README_09-03-2019.pdf. Cessna T337G Super Skymaster, N337KN: Fatal accident occurred July 17, 2022 in Gold Hill, Boulder County, Colorado . The fully revealed circumstances are a huge cautionary tale. I will give the details below for others to replicate, but here are my conclusions:(1) If you start at 4800ft at JAMID, and then descend with a 3.75 degree angle from horizontal as advised on the published approach plate, you would clear the top of a 100' AGL stack by only *63 feet. Must have been one hell of a steam cloud. steam coalescing from 6 stacks into one plume, per NTSB report. Why assume a or b? Personal attacks and hate speech directed at the NTSB investigators, FAA investigators, Designated Pilot Examiners, Kathryn, as well as other members of the aviation blog, are unacceptable because they are not constructive. The KBYI AWOS observations already cited above all gave evidence of Icing Conditions of -SN (light snow) and below freezing temperatures. That having been said, in the post-crash video it appears that the aircraft may have clipped that safety cage about 30 feet below the top of the chimney/stack.As for the plant, since that large chimney is less than 200 feet (14 CFR 77), any lighting would have been voluntary (AC70/7460-1K 01FEB2007). "The NTSB never includes detailed calculations in the preliminary. Updated: 4:45 p.m. A small plane crashed into the second story of a Hermantown home just before midnight Saturday night, killing three people on board. She was always striving to be an example of Christ and share His love with others. She had a special gift for making everyone she met feel important, and her smile lit up every room. Or maybe the pilot went around on the first pass *because* they were carrying too much speed. The airport instrumentation tells a story regarding what is happening at the airport. He owns the minds of those fans and is working toward harvesting their donations in the times ahead. *(2) If you back-solve this the other way, starting from the end of the runway with a 40ft TCH vertical offset as shown on the published plate, and go up toward JAMID with a 3.75 degree slope, you still only clear the top of a 100ft AGL stack by *73 feet. Whatever the case, I can't imagine the pain her family is going through. This was not the fault of any tower on the processing plant. advisory GS, that would have put her 50-60' below MDA. Anonymous Wednesday, December 21, . Assuming the aircraft is indicating 7000 on the altimeter, when she went missed and flew the published missed approach, she was 50 feet lower than expected. If the stacks are putting out a bunch of smoke and steam, I can see how you could easily hit them despite them having red anti-collision lighting (according to the obstacle database at least.). With such small margins, even little differences count. This is typical and one of the worst aspects of this community. The twin engine Cessna reportedly came down near Andrews Avenue.Reports are []. i suggest you read it, and digest it. very sad. Yes exactly. The local city zoning allowed industry to build around the airport, not the feds. ATC videos on youtube removed dead air gaps in the audio and rammed the sequence together, creating the false impression that the emergency onset was immediately after takeoff. The pilot was fatally injured. Loss of Control in Flight: Cessna 525C Citation . Apparently the mail must get through, despite the automated voice telling you "Minimums" and you don't have the runway. Flying a stabilized approach the plant and the runway should have been visible about a mile out. Loss of Control in Flight: Cessna 525C Citation CJ4, N614SB, fatal accident occurred December 29 . It's likely the effect of the plume is fairly localized, much like wake turbulence. The billowing clouds suddenly blind you, and the aircraft loses lift at the worst possible time. The reported ceilings were well above the MDA, so unless you were sitting in the cockpit next to the pilot, you have no idea if they could make out the runway or not when they passed the MDA. Not sure what to say about plate interpretation, but what the pilot sees on flight displays is from a loaded copy of that electronic obstacle database, which is a good thing. The decision to divert was made before descending from cruise altitude. The vapour warms the air as it cools and condenses, a process accentuated by a cold day. That's the only certainty we have at this stage about its position. Where the airplane could've flown 20 feet further, then everyone may have walked away. Again it was very unfortunate. Always remember the human side, and respect that a lot of people suffer greatly from a loss like this. There were five aboard, the Private rated pilot and four passengers. But if the temperature is warm (roughly 0C to -5C), wet snow mixed with liquid water could to stick to your airplane.Dec 11, 2021Frost disrupts the smooth flow of wind over the wing causing reduced lift. Ditching in a foot or two of water thats spilling onto the sand, as he appeared to do, is so much easier than ditching outside the breakers where you would encounter wave crests and troughs. Three hours later, Atlanta Center instructed the pilot to maintain 7,300 feet and cleared him to . I have tried to comprehend the possible reasons for a Caravan to be flying below 90 knots and descending close to 900 feet per minute (per ADS-B/FlightAware) dangerously below the published Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) on the RNAV/LNAV GPS Runway 20 approach to Burley, Idaho (KBYI)Airport. @billy - The accident pilot was initially flying a 4.1 descent angle leaving JAMID, with 1.6 NM remaining to the RW20 threshold. No problem to figure out from the street view image, using the height of the red frame's upper platform yellow guardrail as a measuring reference for the stack and truck bay door openings to figure roof elevation.The stack rises above the roof surface by approximately 20 multiples of the guardrail height. The elevation data in Google Earth also does not agree with a 4' difference. It's very possible she could see the runway but wasn't seeing the smoke stack for various reasons, Perhaps was not following the flight director and passing weather unexpectedly started dropping heavier mist and snow just long enough to obscure visual.Here is the NEXRAD weather playback for the 1400 to 1500Z period, with BYI's location marked. It is unfortunate that Mr. Minter was in an airplane accident, but the stories so far have not discovered his interest and involvement in aviation:"Raised in Santa Monica, Minter served in The United States Marine Corps. The left wing shows most of the damage where it connects to the fuselage. They didn't even have the correct flight plan with the assigned approach procedure set in the FMC. Reply. Recently she appeared on Los Angeles television representing airport interests in a debate with the Airport Neighbors Association. )ADS-B shows ground speed, of course. 13,293. a pilot is not an athlete either. Agreed - not assuming willful pilot disregard of minimums until PT-6 operation is evaluated is the responsible viewpoint until investigation makes determinations.Accident aircraft was a 2013 production aircraft, not a steam gage model. If the visibility was .5 SM better than reported, then the pilot would have had approximately 35 seconds from breaking out to see and avoid the tower. All messages must be civil in tone; if critical, must be constructive. Neither ASN nor the Flight Safety Foundation are responsible for the completeness or correctness of this information. "The captains change to a vertical speed approach after failing to capture the profile glidepath was not in accordance with UPS procedures and guidance and decreased the time available for the first officer to perform her duties." The plate shows 4,304 so I used that. You just get one needle for lateral guidance, some step down altitude restrictions and an MDA. The last "reliable" data point on ADS-B was @ 08:32:25 at an altitude of 4150' MSL and a position of 42.5520,-113.7592 which is almost directly at the stack. except for a steam cloud that probably obscured some smoke stacks and towers. Anyone have the ATC audio? I got my info from The NTSB preliminary report, WPR22FA151:A special automated weather report for BYI about the time of the accident reported 1 mile visibility in light snow and mist, broken layer at 2,300 ft above ground level (agl), overcast at 2,800 ft agl, temperature -3C, dew point temperature -5C, barometric pressure 29.96 inches of mercury. If she was still in IMC after minimums, the witness and security camera would not have seen her aircraft. Suggest you do a little searching for DG's past history/reputation. A loss of power, icing, or other emergency situation is definitely possible. Easy enough to black out signatures.Was he given permission to take that marker light?You wouldn't think that an expert would expect a strobe light instead of the red marker to be placed that close to the airport, given the easy to find advisory circular guidance, as noted in a previous comment:http://www.kathrynsreport.com/2022/04/cessna-208b-grand-caravan-n928jp-fatal.html?showComment=1650238952384#c1446716018867091538. / 45.4288; 9.2545. Nothing was cut. The entire left wing leading edge from tip to the square-cornered root is unblemished when you look at the 00:07 to 00:12 second close-up view in the Kameraone scene video. first opened in 1940, and publicly-owned by the CITY OF BURLEY, ID. Someone who kept risking it that day in spite of the aircraft diverting to Twin Falls the day before, which suggests that the freight company could deal with handling the 30 mile location shift of freight delivery/pickup for the more sensible divert away from the impossible to overcome steam cloud.If it doesn't turn out to be the impossible PT-6 failure or impossible pilot PT-6 misoperation, then all that remains is pilot error from risking the impossible to overcome steam cloud that had just been flown over and had a good look at on the first approach, hoping against hope that it wouldn't be impossible to overcome this time.Letting the video channel guy assign the impossible to overcome steam cloud as the certain to be true cause has replaced his prior assignment of the "intentionally busted minimums" story to the minds of easily influenced followers. Yes,you are right, I did a copy and paste and wanted to refresh myself on comments on icing perhaps being a factor which I didn't know could happen in light snow. "Those stacks were well outside where any airplane should ever find itself. "That's what you get if capitalism runs unchecked and controls every aspect of public life: commercials, banalities and emotions instead of reason, science and art that make life so much fuller. It's nearly parallel to the runway. I'm guessing she was tired and flying in bad conditions, with a wall of steam from those chimneys and a roof cleared of snow by heat, and she mistook the roof for the extended threshold. A viewpoint location one quarter mile (1,320 feet) toward the airport from the stack (such as at Gossner's areas adjacent to 7th Avenue) would be very likely to see the approaching aircraft appear to descend into the water vapor plume, but viewpoint locations off to the side of the flight track or Northeast of the stacks have a different perspective.Plant has operated since 2011, so there has been a long period of opportunity where the water vapor plume from the dryer stacks were operating under similar weather conditions and subject to observation, photos and videos of plume behaviour in all wx conditions.Potato plant created artificial IFR conditions! For specific information, you may request a copy of . Funeral services for Brittney Infanger will be held on Saturday, April 23 at noon at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Stake Center in Salmon, Idaho (please be in your seat by 11:45). Runway 20 has one. The pilot, 79, accepted the . (Note: BYI METAR winds were 200 at 7 to 8 knots during both approaches. You got misled by time compressed comm presentations provided as four minute videos on youtube. The plane's pilot also died. As seen in many urban locations, local city zoning permits industry to build around urban airports. Kathryn's Report (kathrynsreport.com) Kathryn's Report: This Aviation Blog Is Permanently Open (kathrynsreport.com) Edit, as Eman said, "permanently closed for a little while" , the entry now says permanently open. So much hate over something trivial sad that so many in our society have succumbed to this level. There was a small plane crash in North Carolina on June 16, 2022. But I got my wish too. You have any proof of that? "It's not a minimums bust if you have any of the required runway elements in sight before you descend. This is probably why the pilot decided to continue the approach. Both wings, the propeller assembly, belly pod, and the nose wheel separated from the fuselage. Ratings: COMMERCIAL PILOTAIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE LANDAIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE SEAAIRPLANE MULTIENGINE LAND INSTRUMENT AIRPLANE, 1500hr rule. Additionally, someone posted where the chimney was located, about 100 feet to the left. All: "Diverting today is less justifiable, weather is not at minimums"6. I am extremely sorry for her parents and other loved ones. Horrifying video captures California plane crash that killed doctor, UPS driver. El Paso, TX USA (The above information was offered to show reports from the BYI automatic weather system for the full period covering the initial descent decision through to the crash at 14:32 Z. Prayers for this family and those impacted by this tragedy. However, I do not live out there and haven't seen the stack in person.https://gray-kmvt-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com/resizer/Z9XA94vRdq5ABRdEofwGJeK0tGE=/1200x675/smart/filters:quality(85)/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/gray/JNAC4GVPRBC7RHHQSIO3P2WAEY.JPGAnonymous Said: "I wouldn't start speculating that they hit the silos, without proof, because those of us who live there see no indication that the silos or cooling towers were touched. GMAFB.And insulting me (or trying to) doesn't speak to the weakness of my position, but rather the weakness of yours. Go back in your mommas basement and eat your Cheetos and watch SpongeBob. 4,365' - 4,304' = 61'.Answer: the FAA-approved non-precision approach path is 61' above the smokestack. Freight dispatchers aren't the ones responsible for letting under-equipped airports remain that way. "Sucked right into that smokestack by the steam cloud!" First approach got down to 4375 which is 185 below MDA. She loved flying the Idaho backcountry while working for Gem Air as well as flying UPS routes in Idaho and Utah. Bet you have very limited Actual instrument hours if any. Hopefully that, and possibly cameras at the airport or in the vicinity of the airport can provide some information though most are not pointed towards the sky.Pilots that fly this route regularly will be intimately familiar with the obstacles and may even stay a little high and err to stay slightly on the right side of the approach or keep the diamonds centered and follow the flight director. Easy to answer. Replies. The documents could also be provided on the DG website he operates so that anyone can see them in full context. Lack of hours? )Here are those two points, with map-pinned locations, measured distance between them and difference in raw reported altitude:Data and mapping at the edge of the Gem building:Wed 10:32:25 AM 42.5520 -113.7592 217 80 92 4,150 -857Call this Data Point "A" and google map pin it:http://maps.google.com/maps?t=k&q=loc:42.5520+-113.7592Data and mapping at 21 seconds and 2,650 feet horizontal distance before reaching the Gem building's edge and 300 feet higher:Wed 10:32:04 AM 42.5578 -113.7532 216 81 93 4,450 -750Call this Data Point "B" and google map pin it:http://maps.google.com/maps?t=k&q=loc:42.5578+-113.7532Determine angle using rise run:Rise: -300 feetRun: 2,650 feetFlown descent angle between final two data points = -6.5Now, repeat the calculation from JAMID to "B":First, find JAMID coordinates from FAA database:JAMID location coordinates: 42-33-59.2100N 113-44-39.3500WJAMID location converted to decimal: 42.566447, -113.744264Map pin the location of JAMID:maps.google.com/maps?t=k&q=loc:42.566447+-113.744264Choose nearest ADS-B data point to JAMID from FA track log:Wed 10:31:37 AM 42.5669 -113.7437 216 103 119 4,750 -663Call this Data point "C" and google map it:maps.google.com/maps?t=k&q=loc:42.5669+-113.7437(JAMID's location maps about 200 feet SWest of this data point)N928JP's location at JAMID includes an uncorrected altitude of 4,750 feet, 300 feet higher than and 4,166 feet horizontally distant from the Wed 10:32:04 AM 42.5578 -113.7532 data point "B".Determine angle from JAMID to "B" using rise run:Rise: -300 feetRun: 4,166 feetFlown descent angle between JAMID and point "B" = -4.1Everybody understands that ADS-B can be terribly inaccurate, but when you add the expected +50' pressure correction to the 4,750' reported at JAMID, the data suggests that the pilot appears to be "on" at JAMID. Minor injuries to two aboard. I totally agree with you. "Clipped from the July 1975 Newsletter:https://www.ninety-nines.org/pdf/newsmagazine/197507.pdf(See pdf sheet 5)Also, a 1967 99's newsletter asks members to write Mayor Minter letters, because the Orange County Chapter was still fighting to keep SMO open at that time.https://www.ninety-nines.org/pdf/newsmagazine/196704.pdf(See pdf sheet 15, top left)If not for the Minter's efforts, SMO would have been closed and surrendered to developers decades ago. If it was sarcasm, you should include /s so people don't mistake it for a serious reply.Calculations of how much mass of water vapor was being delivered by the stacks and mixed into the air above the plant, with diffusion, spread and distance of the effect from the point of emission weren't in the preliminary.
