The outside air was cold enough to cause water dissolved in the Pilatus PC-12/45’s Jet-A fuel to form ice crystals in the main fuel filter and components in the left wing tanks, blocking the fuel flow. The pilot’s efforts to balance the fuel and to correct the low-fuel-pressure condition were not working. He diverted the flight to an alternate airport but lost control of the airplane while maneuvering to land. The PC-12 crashed near the runway, killing all 14 people aboard.

The NTSB said that the probable causes were “the pilot’s failure to ensure that a fuel system icing inhibitor was added to the fuel [and] his failure to take appropriate remedial actions after a low-fuel-pressure state (resulting from icing within the fuel system) and a later fuel imbalance developed.” Mark Lacagnina details the sequence of events.

Also in the September issue: The FAA postpones a final rule on duty time limits and rest requirements; American Airlines introduces a new “just culture” policy for maintenance and engineering technicians; an accident that revives concerns about go-arounds after touchdown in turbine-powered airplanes; and other important safety articles.
