Loading...According to the investigation held by Transportation Safety Board plane crash on November, 13, 2018 in Brantford County was due to a combination of factors. The pilot, Ronald Chamberlain, was flying with his wife when the plane crashed. It turned out to be bad weather conditions, out of date equipment and expired license.
The pilot did not have a valid license as he had health issues. Thus, he was refused in the license.
As for weather conditions, it was raining and snowing. The man was not eligible to fly in such weather conditions. The plane used for the flight was out of date. It had no both de- and anti-icing systems.
The investigation as well states that the plane had been circling above the airport for half an hour before the fatal crash. The estimated time of the crash is 1.15 a.m. No emergency or rescue brigades were at the scene at once. As Brantford Municipal Airport does not operate at night and plane’s emergency activation was out of order.
There was no communication between the pilot and airport workers. As well as no one witness the crash. Thus the wreckages were found in the morning. Moreover, it remains unclear where the plane was flying as the pilot did not file the plan of his flight.
With reference to the autopsy, the pilot has certain level of alcohol. Though there are no specifi restrictions in blood alcohol limits for pilots. But Canadian aviation regulations prohibit to be a crew member within eight hours after consuming alcohol.
