    • Fatal Midair Collision At Idaho Backcountry Fly-In

      Fatal Midair Collision At Idaho Backcountry Fly-In

      On June 28, 2013, about 0948 mountain daylight time, a Piper PA-22-135 Tri-Pacer, N1540P, and a Piper PA-28R-200 Arrow, N2108T, collided midair while on final approach to landing at the Johnson Creek Airport (3U2), Yellow Pine, Idaho.

      The private pilot of the Tri-Pacer and his pilot-rated passenger sustained serious injuries. The private pilot of the Arrow sustained serious injuries. Tragically, his 20-month-old son sustained fatal injuries. The child was secured in a CARES child restraint.

      A review of the recorded CTAF transmissions revealed that both pilots were transmitting their positions within the airport traffic pattern, corroborating their reports that they did so. It could not be determined why neither pilot heard the other pilot’s position reports and the NTSB found it likely that both pilots were not adequately monitoring other aircraft position reports while in the pattern.

      The NTSB report states "If either pilot had heard the other pilot’s position reports, it is likely that the collision would not have occurred." (Vigilance is such a common theme.)

      Both NTSB accident reports are included as part of a larger document repository containing investigative information about this accident. Those documents, which include the CTAF transcript, can be found at https://tiny.cc/idahomidair.

      IMPORTANT

      The sole fatality in this accident was the Arrow pilot's two year old son. Please consider that when commenting.

      As the mostly-benevolent dictator of this place I am the sole authority on decorum. Inappropriate comments may be removed without warning.

      Wings and Wolves - Idaho Back Country June 2016

      We took a trip into the Idaho wilderness around Bruce Meadows and Bull Trout Lake. The airstrip at Bruce Meadows attracted an Army Apache helicopter as well as civilian mountain fliers. The opening scenes, not far from Bull Trout Lake, show wolves shadowing an elk. Later, huge sandhill cranes are seen before the aircraft get active at Bruce Meadows.

      Big Creek, ID (U60) - Approach and Landing

      Approach and Landing at Big Creek (U60) in June in a Cessna 182. There are several ways to approach this landing, and since it was my first time we took the extended route flying through the bottom of the mountain for a nice long approach. You can make a shorter left base if you are familiar with the terrain, or the mountain also supports a right base if you can turn around in the bowl to the north of the airstrip. As always use lots of caution and careful planning when going into new mountainous airstrips.
