RIP crew and passengers

Aeroplanes, Trains, Buses/Coaches, Motor cars.

We are all at risk, as individuals, or in groups...

More sad News.

Paul.

It would appear that the Twin engined Aeroplane may have suffered a bird strike debilitating one of the engines, very shortly after take-off.

The Pilot quickly turned the Aircraft hoping to return to the Airfield, but the result was a fatal crash shortly after the manoeuvre, before reaching its destination..

In such an emergency case, with a twin-engined, propeller Aircraft, which direction should the Aircraft be banked to minimise loss of airspeed, and still retain altitude as much as possible....
...Towards the failed engine, or towards the operational engine?
...and what would be the result of getting it wrong?

Aviation can be very unforgiving of mistakes, unfortunately crashes and fatalities have always been and will continue to be a part of it. Man was not intended to fly!

True, if God had intended man to fly he'd have never invented Spanish and French Air Traffic Control

As always the Daily Mail hits us with its expert analysis within 48 hrs of it even happening. Far too early to say even if it was in a "western" country with a fully funded accident investigation authority.

That's what it looked like to me. Its easy to lay blame on a pilot during an emergency for those that did not experience it.  Something we must all remember.
