      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.

      Flight Report: Backcountry Airplane Camping at Johnson Creek

      http://www.goodplaneliving.com/johnson-creek-airplane-camping/

      ► Here's our Flight Report and Travel Vlog for our airplane camping trip at the Idaho backcountry airstrip of Johnson Creek in our Vans RV-10 homebuilt airplane.

      This is our first LONG trip, flying around 2500 miles over a long weekend, and also our first true camping trip in the plane!

      Johnson Creek is a beautiful backcountry airstrip, and along with the rest of the trip, I really tried to capture the feel of flying into the valley and landing on that beautiful strip. The "landing portion" of the video is a little drawn out, but only because I wanted to show the entire approach, and I didn't cut out any time from an extended downwind until touchdown. It all happens realtime, with just some cuts between multiple cameras.

      What did you think of our Flight Report? Would you like to see more/less of something in particular? Ed technical run throughs, more destination video, timelapses, etc. Let us know by commenting below!

      Spectacular Johnson Creek Idaho #Kitfox Airplane Camping

      My first trip to Johnson Creek airstrip in the Frank Church Wilderness of No Return (That is the actual name). Considered to be one of the best fly-in campgrounds in the US. Idaho has over 100 backcountry airstrips in beautiful remote areas. This flight was an amazing experience.
