A flight of Berin’s air that recently crashed in marine ice Out of Alaska, By killing 10, there were more than £ 1,000 “over the maximum gross weight to flight to known or forecast glaze conditions,” the NTSB National Traffic Safety Committee states (NTSB).
The passenger’s flight traveled from Unalakleet to the nim when he disappeared on February 6th. Us coastal guard He found the wreckage of aircraft for days later, on sea ice about 30 miles southeast of Nome.
“The postdiction of the aircraft content showed that the luggage and cargo weighed approximately £ 798. Based on this data, the estimated gross weight of the aircraft in departure was about £ 9,865, which is about £ 1,058 during the maximum exit at the maximum mass of flight in the known or proclaimed ICR-ICGNSB” for Let-DTTSBIN.
“The final data point of the satellite monitoring corresponds to the time 1520: 17 and a height of 200 FT,” he added.

The NTSB report said that the plane, the Textron Aviation 208B, “equipped with a TKS system of ice protection, which included porous titanium panels along the leading edges of the wings, horizontal and vertical stabilizers and wings.”
“The TKS system is designed to provide ice protection fluid from the tank in a freight base to plates, propeller and windshield to prevent the aircraft from accumulation,” he continued.
The NTSB cited the pilot supplement for the operating manual relating to the TKS system, saying: “That the maximum permissible gross weight for flight to the famous or forecast watery conditions was equal to the one in the basic aircraft, which was 8,807 LBS.”

“FAA records have found that the aircraft was equipped with an aircraft load on the III (APE III) system”, which “is a condition of increased maximum gross weight of 9,062 lbs,” NTSB added.
However, at the time of the collision, the plane was still “about 803 pounds over the maximum gross weight for any flight surgery under the addition of APE III manual for flight”, according to the NTSB.

“The older NTSB aircraft engineer will conduct a detailed review of aircraft performance as part of the investigation, including an assessment of the site of the aircraft gravity center,” the report said.
NTSB also said the pilot included in the collision “accumulated about 2,500 hours of the total flight time, including 1,060 hours in 208B aircraft.”
