TakeOff Performance Evaluation and addt’l considerations
Posted: Sun Sep 03, 2023 8:13 pm
While perusing the internet I came across this accident report produced by Transport Canada (TC) in which, what Should Have Been a non-fatal accident resulted in a fatality.
Four matters involved which are probably important for us to consider are:
1- The need to evaluate EACH TakeOff as related to field-conditions vs performance. (surface conditions and slope)
2- The need to use seat/shoulder belts in Good Condition EACH time, and properly worn (snug).
3- The need to recognize that Service Bulletins/Letters, although not mandated for Pt 91 aircraft, should be given serious attention anyway.
4- Baggage should be properly secured. The bag-shelf in our airplanes is not a reliable restraint.
This fatality was likely due to all four of these.
