| Summary: | The pilot reported a problem with his right engine after take off and tried to return for an emergency landing but crashed into a private field and exploded, approximately 1 mile north of Jean-Lesage International Airport. The aircraft took off with reduced engine power not recommended by the manufacturer. Once the right engine stopped working, the pilots didn't rotate the engine's blades to be parallel with the flow of air, a procedure called feathering that helps to reduce drag. The crew were not properly trained for emergencies, and mechanical defects were not being logged. The company’s license was revoked. |
