Twin turboprop, high wing loading, spoilers on top of wings instead of ailerons. As a result of the spoilers it handles differently at slow speeds and it cannot carry much ice because of spoiler cannot activate with ice on top of wing.

Mitsubishi Industries in Japan made it.

Has killed a lot of folks, both experienced and inexperienced pilots both.

Heinz (helo), Wellstone also come to mind.

What strikes me is that driving for 45 years I can only recall engine failure three times, but the number of hours on the road way excedes what I would experience casually in the air. Plus, not nearly the attention to maintenance. Two of the times were due to rubber belt failures which in a plane would have been proactively replaced. The third time, was due to an electrical fuse problem but the manufacturer (Chevrolet) already had a bulletin out.

Piston planes are dangerous.

Yeah but even with engine failure at 1100 feet the glide ratio should get you down okay. I don’t like this not one bit

Small planes always grab a fair share of deaths in any group that uses them frequently -

Inhofe was one who joined Ted Cruz in his “long speech”. About 6 weeks ago.

Inhofe has been in the forefront of calling out the bogus UN IPCC climate BS. May God grant him peace with the tragic loss of his son.

Prayers up to the Inhofe family. So sad!

Although I have to fly in smaller planes at times I avoid them like the plague whenever possible. My Dad was a pilot and owned a wide variety of them but I never wanted to fly in them. I'm sure they are probably safer than I think but I'm a white knuckle flier anyway so I like the big planes.

There’s that along with the 1100 feet which is higher than the typical air field pattern approach. And it was daylight which should give enough time to find something flat——especially in that FLAT country. Most of us practice dead-stick landings which ignore the engine(s) all together. If only one engine is out I’d prefer cutting the other also just to avoid crabbing, unbalanced torque, etc. There’s no real excuse for wadding up a plane under those conditions-—and that certainly raises suspicions.
