ATR42 West Wind Canada cade dopo il decollo - tutti vivi

[SuperMau]

Un ATR42-300 della West Wind Aviation nel nord del Canada e' caduto stanotte (ieri sera in Canada) poco dopo il decollo da un piccolo aeroporto in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Sembra sia caduto piu o meno a un miglio dalla soglia.

Tutti sopravvissuti, anche se con diversi feriti trasportati in ospedale.

Meteo riporta tempo nuvoloso con neve a sprazzi e -19C al suolo.

"A West Wind Aviation Avions de Transport Regional ATR-42-300, registration C-GWEA performing flight WEW-280 from Fond-du-Lac,SK to Stony Rapids,SK (Canada) with 22 passengers and 3 crew, was in the initial climb out of Fond-du-Lac at about 18:15L (00:15Z Dec 14th) when the aircraft lost height and impacted terrain about 1km past the runway. All occupants survived, there are a number of serious and minor injuries, the aircraft sustained substantial damage.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police reported all occupants have been accounted for and have been taken to hospitals.

The Canadian TSB have dispatched investigators on site.

Local volunteer fire fighter Raymond Sanger wrote: "Quite a show tonight. Thank to all the helpers rangers. Black lake rescued teams. And everyone that helped out. I guess we’re not alone. We’ve been looked after by garden Engels tonight. And thank you God for being there with us all. All that fuel was like raining. Still nothing happened. FDL. Beautiful team work."

West Wind Aviation currently operates three ATR-42s: C-GWEA, C-GWWD and C-GWWC. On Dec 13th 2017 C-GWEA was seen departing Saskatoon,SK for Prince Albert,SK (Canada), the first segment of flight WEW-280, and departing Prince Albert for Fond-du-Lac, the second segment of flight WEW-280. The aircraft left radar coverage about half way into Fond-du-Lac and has not re-entered radar coverage since".

Mah, al netto di cali di potenza potrebbe venire in mente o ghiaccio vetroso non visto (possibile mai?), o windshear.

"On Dec 22nd 2017 Transport Canada, Civil Aviation Authority of Canada, suspended the Air Operator Certificate of West Wind stating: "The department took this serious action in the interest of public safety because the department identified deficiencies in the company’s Operational Control System. An Operational Control System ensures that a company’s day-to-day actions are compliant with safety requirements for things such as, for example, the dispatching of personnel and aircraft. On December 13, 2017, a West Wind Aviation aircraft, with 25 people onboard, crashed in Fond-du-Lac, Saskatchewan. Transport Canada identified deficiencies during a post-accident inspection of West Wind Aviation from December 18 to 20, 2017. As a result, in the interest of public safety, Transport Canada suspended West Wind Aviation’s Air Operator Certificate and will not allow the company to resume its commercial air service until it demonstrates compliance with aviation safety regulations."

"On Apr 24th 2018 the TSB reported the aircraft had encountered icing conditions during the approach to Fond-du-Lac, the crew had activated the anti-icing and de-icing systems on board of the aircraft. After landing, when the anti-icing and de-icing systems were turned off, residual ice remained on portions of the aircraft. Although manual de-icing equipment was available at the terminal, the aircraft departed with ice contamination still present and lost height shortly after takeoff. The manual de-icing equipment available at the terminal consisted of two ladders, a hand-held spray bottle with electric blanekt and wand and a container of de-icing fluid".

Possibile si... poco rassicurante.
Tra l'altro, il successivo 27 dicembre uno dei passeggeri è morto per le ferite riportate, penso si debba per correttezza informativa aggiornare purtroppo il titolo (può farlo un mod o un admin).
