The NTSB ignores just so many crashes of small aircraft and yet this one, in a remote location, get special attention for some obscure reason. It just doesn’t make sense.
crash landed on a twin otter in rabit lake, the pilot was all freaked out trying to get parts and get his plane out before anybody noticed :) i was kind of freaked out too :)
Unusual that NTSB gets so involved in a small plane crash but I guess that's because the husband of congresswoman Mary Peltola was onboard. Was the 8:48pm daylight alaskan time? google earth suggests that the sun was still above the horizon and coming down at very shallow angle so presumably not pitch black conditions. It's almost new moon so if it was at night that could contribute. But much of GA is in a more sorry state than cars in cuba, running engines of WW2 design and indeed the Cub derives from a 1930 design. The plane in question is from 1952. Not exactly a spring chicken. Engine failure on take off would anecdotally seem common and because of its poor climb and glide capability it might have been impossible to turn back. And old factory manual on a norwegian site says best climb was 1:8, no specification for glide ratio. One guy with some actual data discipline suggested best glide of 1:6.6 if you don't make any turns. And that's best case for both so a return was likely impossible. The NTSB report could reflect that both Lycoming and Continental make crude WW2 engines that fail frequently yet they are exceedingly expensive. It could also point out that much of GA is extremely old planes with poor performance making them deadly in emergencies. A modern Risen 915 2-seater has a climb of 1:4.7 and best glide of 1:20
Wasn’t this the special performance one with plenty of performance BUT with a very large kill carcass as baggage …….reported on by YTer > Blancolirio ?.

congresswoman
not sure they ignore them, but, ya they don't make videos about them :)
@@rebokfleetfoot and they certainly don’t bother to got to even a relatively close crash site.
It's because our (Alaska's) federal House representatives husband was on the flight and he died.
Rip Eugene Peltola Jr, you will be missed
I offer my condolences to Rep Mary Peltola, family and friends. 😞

Was this the same plane that was escorted from JBER airspace?

It's not unusual. The NTSB investigates every plane crash with a fatality or serious injuries.
I'm trying to understand what would motivate somebody to make a comment like this...
