May 17, 20179 yr Hi Al, Yeah - saw this one too - bad couple days for FSW type aircraft... This one is bizarre - seems he was flying along fat, dumb, and happy at FL240 in good weather - no calls - speculation was in flight break up... Bermuda Triangle ? Regards, Scott
May 17, 20179 yr 319 degrees to KTIX,and radar contact lost 37 miles east of the island? where was he going? Or are the media being the usual idiots?

May 17, 20179 yr Hi Jim, I think he was returning from Puerto Rico - landing at KTIX - last ping on FlightAware had him about 20 miles east of Governor's Harbor in the Bahamas... So 319 seems in the ballpark... At FL240 - certainly could have been pressurization related... Regards, Scott
May 17, 20179 yr Sorry, The U.S. Coast Guard says the twin-engine MU-2B was east of the island of Eleuthera on Monday when air traffic control in Miami lost radar and radio contact with the plane. It was en route from Puerto Rico and never made it to its destination of Titusville, along the northeastern coast of Florida.The U.S. http://www.kathrynsreport.com/2017/05/mitsubishi-mu-2b-40-n220n-ithaca_16.html Jim Driscoll, MSI Raider GE76 12UHS-607 17.3" Gaming Laptop Computer - Blue Intel Core i9 12th Gen 12900HK 1.8GHz Processor; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 16GB GDDR6; 64GB DDR5-4800 RAM; Dual M2 2TB Solid State Drives.Driving a Sony KD-50X75, and KDL-48R470B @ 4k 3724x2094,MSFS 2020, 30 FPS on Ultra Settings.

May 17, 20179 yr Defiantly need part 121 type recurrent training to stay ahead of that airplane,very unforgiving.

May 17, 20179 yr Hi Jim, Yep - I've also seen mention by those familiar with the aircraft what happens with the engines during an engine failure and the failed engine prop doesn't feather - could lead to loss of control... Regards, Scott
May 17, 20179 yr Yes,the Garrets have a mechenicly complex negative torque system,If proper maintenance is not kept up,bad things happen.

May 17, 20179 yr Hi Jim, Well it seems you are in the know... Something to be said for simple fixed pitch SEL aircraft... Regards, Scott
May 17, 20179 yr A lot of my turbo prop maintenance/run up experience, was on EMB-110,B-1900,B-99 PT-6's,I also have experience on P-3 Orion,Saab 340,ATR -42 engine & propeller systems.The PT-6 was the most reliable by far.

May 17, 20179 yr I forgot the EMB-120 also.

May 17, 20179 yr Hi Jim, Hah - forgot the most important one - loved Cantu's model of the EMB-120 in FS9 - would like to see it done again... Regards, Scott

If you take up FDE design, you can holla RAZBAM. Apparently a good FDE is everything they need to complete their -120. 7950X3D + 7900 XT + 64 GB + Linux | 4800H + RTX2060 + 32 GB + Linux My add-ons from my FS9/FSX days
