Air Crash Investigation - A Picture Essay

[arf-er]

"Good afternoon, Tuas Tower, this is Charlie One-Sixty; ready for take-off, runway 18"
"Charlie One-Sixty, you are cleared, headwind 02, 3knots, high Cirrus, should be fine enroute"
"Charlie One-Sixty roger, Tango Yankee"

[arf-er]

"Charlie One-Sixty, rotating..."
"Tuas Tower, Charlie One-Sixty, proceeding to ops area; heading 090, 200 feet, operations normal"

[arf-er]

10 minutes later....

"Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! .... Tuas Tower, Charlie One-Sixty, I have an engine fire on board! left engine... out...feathered...not able.. to hold...losing altitude... attempt to crash land... over swamp land, location...150m East of airfield... 100 feet.... 60 feet...losing altitude fast.......Oh SxxT !"

All transmission lost.

[arf-er]

Tuas Tower presses the Red button.... the Joint Emergency Ops Centre is activated...
Spotter aircraft is scrambled...
Search and Rescue Heli flight is deployed....

[arf-er]

It was a a frantic, extensive search over inhospitable terrain.... the serch aircraft scoured the crash area, but the dense foliage was impenetrable... night fell....
The search continued into the next morning... after 23 hours; suddenly...

"Tuas Tower, this is Rescue One, I think I've spotted something! ..."

[arf-er]

"... It's Charlie One-Sixty! - I've located him! doesn't seem too bad from up here... I'll give you a fix; send in the ground recovery party!"

[arf-er]

Specialised SAR team was deployed... using some very heavy sophisticated equipment to overcome the terrain, they finally reached the crash site....

[arf-er]

It was not a pretty sight... oil was spilled, balsa was strewn over the crash site.... but all was not lost; Charlie was recovered to fly another day!
On-site investigation concluded that this incident was caused by a mechanical fault owing to ground maintenance (in)competence in engine tuning!
the responsible parties have been charged!
