Plane crash in Kentucky, young girl survives
Crash site is near Kentucky Lake. Was a PA-34 Seneca. Five were on board and four have died. a 7 year old girl survived and walked to nearby house. Lousy weather in the area. They had departed Tallahassee enroute to Mt Vernon, Illinois I believe. (www.wpsdlocal6.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
N81291.
Anybody you knew?
Didn't know them. Crash site about 5 east of m34, my home base. Flight aware shows a turn toward the west ( maybe to go to Paducah where there is ILS). Don't know if the crash was controlled or uncontrolled. Not a good spot for Seneca on one with low ceilings at nite. God bless them.
Fuel exhaustion maybe??? No sign of a fire.
Certainly possible. Was in the air 3 hrs w/ climb to 12k. A little fueling error at TLH could lead to bingo on fuel early.
What were the temps. like? I wonder if they iced up, the V should fly on one... RIP
Possible. His cruise alt was 6k. Surface temp here was 40ish.
Flightaware graph shows they were up to 12000 for some time out of KJAX.
Meant to say he filed for 6. The last return on the graph was 93kts, 2700msl, and descending 540fpm. So he appeared to be under control up to then.
