Other than the lack of fire, what might suggest this to you? | |||

Read the description in the linked article. Does not sound to me like fuel exhaustion. Maybe engine failure? I believe that model has 250 hp (maybe 260) each side. Not a lot of excess thrust there to climb with, if only one of them is working. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

one witness stated that the plane was "finna go down" They then listened to their scanner apps... I'm probably leaping to conclusions. | |||

Man, that's a sweet Mazda wagon doubling as landing gear.  P229 | |||

Not being on CNN or YouTube = Perfect Landing! ______________________________________________ Aeronautics confers beauty and grandeur, combining art and science for those who devote themselves to it. . . .

He climbs, he rises, he soars, he reigns, he hurtles the proud vault of the azure sky. — Georges Besançon | |||

Just a WAG. I didn't know that it was a twin (not really into GA trivia), then again from the photos you can't even tell it had motors at all. I'm sure the NTSB / FAA will let us know in 12-15 months.  | |||

Yeah, they didn't make all that many of them. I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||

The PA23-250 did okay on one engine **if** you got the dead engine squared away pronto... and it wasn't too hot out. | |||

A Beechcraft 76 lost an engine on take off and hit the roof of a house about 9 houses away from mine and then landed in the backyard and everyone walked away. Supposedly they're VERY underpowered and can't fly on one engine or barely and not unless they have altitude.....this one sounds a little underpowered also, but not as bad as the Beechcraft 76 which had an instructor and 2 students in the plane. | |||

I did my ME in a Duchess. Single engine performance is essentially none. At Montgomery Field, there was a freeway at the departure end of the runway, and on the other side of the freeway, a shopping area, including an In and Out Burger. On my check ride, the examiner had me figure out, using the current ATIS, weight and balance, how long it would take to get to 50’ if an engine were to quit at gear up. I believe we figured we would be going through the drive thru at In and Out Burger in that unhappy event. IOW, for all intents and purposes, you had to treat it like SE in those situation. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

I owned a 68 C177. The 150hp on a hot day was a lot of fun. Going out of as small airport in northern NJ had a hill at the departure end that had about the same profile as the rate of climb on the Cardinale. Always made it fun seeing a rate of climb and not really appearing to gain altitude for some time. | |||

And that's exactly what happened. They lost engine on take off and hit the roof of a house 1/4 mile from the airport, roof and plane caught fire and plane ended up in the backyard and all 3 people walked away. Kind of sobering when it's less than 9 houses away. And, then a boat blows up in the backyard of the house 4 houses away (in between) like 2 months later. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/lo...-20160425-story.html | |||

My hometown. Airport is on the river. No areas to land around there but in the water. Hard to tell from the images but to crash on the north side of the river they may have been doing touch and go training. Take off to the west, turn around, fly east, turn and land. ------- Trying to simplify my life... | |||
