Beech King A100 Beloeil QC

Amazing how everything posted can be taken literally, ya I'm sure there's a P&W Bulletin floating around somewhere that advises against "leaning the mixture" on a PT-6...ever.

I guess nobody wants to hail the pilot(s) as hero's until we find out why the engines stopped working, but regardless, I'd like to add that having everyone survive with nothing more than bumps and bruises is a pretty commendable outcome when you consider what the results could have been, I say job well done. Its easy to armchair quarterback, but clearly there was some quick thing and skilled flying required.

They are fortunate to have survived ... and without serious injury. One previous poster commented on the difficulty approaching there, so maybe here was also a bit of luck to have it end as it did.

The building in the background of the photo is the truck inspection station for the south lane of the Trans Canada, approx under right base for runway 15 (favourable) about 2000' short of turning final. Looking east from the nearest overpass (just west of the accident site) with google traffic it's possible to see the "trees" and the "wires". If that is the actual final trajectory, ... then the photo captures the wrecked aircraft stopped facing exactly 180 degrees opposite to the direction of the forced approach.

Might be a coincidence but they posted a job add for captains on PCC yesterday.

Looking for 5000+ hours for a KA100 captain! Maybe they know their insurance is about to go up?

Outlines the what happened, but doesn't explain the why:

Aviation Investigation A13Q0098
Fuel exhaustion and emergency landing in a field near Beloeil, Quebec, of a Beech King A100 operated by Aviation Flycie Inc.

The occurrence
On 10 June 2013, a Beech King A100 operated by Aviation Flycie Inc. took off from Saint-Hubert airport in Quebec for a local flight; 1 pilot and 3 passengers were on board. While the aircraft was on approach to Saint-Hubert airport, the 2 engines stopped due to fuel exhaustion. The pilot attempted a forced landing at Beloeil airport but the aircraft was not able to glide as far as the airport and landed in a field 0.5 nm west of it. The twin-engine aircraft had significant damage and the 4 occupants were slightly injured.

Next best thing after the Cessna in the water would be
that Learjet in Nooyack in the same situation.

Look like the Coast Guards hated Learjets for some reason, because
he planted a huge boat anchor by its tyne in it's nose before proceeding
to tow it to the big junkyard in the sky...
