Re: Fatal crash Port Hope
Private airstrip, accident was called in at 9 pm. Darkness a factor?
Re: Fatal crash Port Hope
I saw somewhere that the engine was still running when people arrived on scene. Not many crashes where that happens. Supposedly lying on its side. Can't see that resulting in fatal trauma. Pilot incapacitation, passenger attempts landing? In that case, poor light or darkness maybe a factor.
Good judgment comes from experience. Experience often comes from bad judgment.

Happened in Frobisher Bay many years ago. Engine ran for a day after the crash.
Picture of it happening in this link…..

Re: Fatal crash Port Hope
C-FYSZ, a privately registered Piper PA-28-180 aircraft was taking off from Canton Aerodrome
(CTN7), ON for a Visual Flight Rule (VFR) flight to Ottawa/Rockcliffe Airport (CYRO), ON with 1
pilot and 1 passenger onboard. At approximately 20:15, the aircraft took off runway 14, then shortly
after liftoff, the left wing hit a tree at approximately 1400 feet from the start of initial takeoff roll at a
height of 26 feet and about 40 feet left from the runway centerline. The aircraft subsequently
impacted other trees approximately 400 feet from the initial impact and crashed in a soybean field.
The wreckage came to rest approximately 220 feet left of the runway centerline, about 150 feet
from the departure end of runway 14. The 406 MGHZ emergency locator transmitter (ELT)
activated during impact and the signal received by the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) in
Trenton, ON. Emergency services attended the scene and both occupants were found fatally
injured. The TSB deployed investigators to the scene.
