Summary
231 Max talks about the crash of a Pilatus PC-12 that occurred on
takeoff in ½ mile visibility in snow in SD. The aircraft, which has
10 seats, was carrying 12 people on a hunting trip. It was
overweight and operating outside its C.G. limits. The pilot spent
three hours removing snow and ice, but couldn’t reach the tail. A
simulation showed the plane could have flown except for one
additional mistake.
