Aviation safety investigators are recommending that operators take their DeHavilland Otters out of service until they can be inspected for a problem that may have caused last month's crash in Puget Sound.
Aviation safety investigators are calling on operators of a popular Alaska bush plane to take them out of service until they can be inspected after a DeHavilland Otter crashed in Washington state last month. The National Transportation Safety Board says a key component appears to have failed before the crash.
“NTSB is concerned another aircraft could crash as a result of something similar if immediate action is not taken to inspect the actuator to ensure that the lock ring is in place and properly engaged to prevent unthreading of the clamp nut. The focus at this time is to ensure that the operators are aware of the issue and what needs to be done to prevent a similar accident,” NTSB spokesperson Jennifer Gabris said in a statement.that she recommended all Otters be grounded until they’re inspected.
“The FAA will take appropriate action based on the manufacturer’s service bulletin and any associated actions from the Canadian authorities,” the agency said in a statement from its public affairs office.Taquan Air’s
