Alaska Stationair Accident Report Released

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) published its final report on April 4, 2024, for the Cessna U206F accident in Chinitna Bay, Alaska, on August 28, 2023, attributing the cause to the pilot's failure to maintain directional control during takeoff on a remote beach. The report details how the aircraft, registered under N1733R and operated by Alaska Skyways Inc., encountered difficulties on its second takeoff attempt when its right wheel hit the water, leading to substantial damage to the right wing. No pre-accident mechanical failures were found, with environmental conditions like soft sand and a wet surface playing a significant role in the accident outcome, according to the NTSB's findings.

On December 31st, 2022, an Easyjet Europe Airbus A320, registration OE-INE, was erroneously cleared to land on an occupied runway at Bordeaux Airport, France, but safely aborted the landing following a proactive alert from another pilot.
