Over Speeding Propellers Possible Cause of Fatal Air Crash

A preliminary report into the Airlines PNG Dash 8 crash has ruled that the crash on October 13 2011 was a result of ‘overspeed’ of both propellers.

Twenty-eight people died and four survived the crash 33km South-East of Madang Town.

According to the Papua New Guinea Investigation Commission, the Dash 8 has a turbine engine which runs through a gearbox. The ‘over speed’ caused self – destruction.

The Dash 8 belongs to Airlines PNG. The aircraft manufacturer is Bombardier. The Engine manufacturer is Pratt & Whitney.

If you think this report is very ambiguous with this over speed explanation, so do we. Please add your comments and insight below.
