    Clear day over Greenland. That place looks like such a mystery to me and I want to go check it out sometime. It was super neat to see the glaciers where they meet the water.

    Turbine Beaver. Hard to tell but it kind of looks like a K2 machine. With what looks like a bent prop and a missing ski.

    Narrative:
    On July 12, 2024, about 1700 Alaska daylight time, a turbine-powered DeHavilland DHC-2T (Beaver) airplane, N535KT sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident near Petersville, Alaska. The pilot and 8 passengers were not injured. The airplane was operated by the pilot as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 135 air tour flight.

    The accident airplane, owned by Rust Properties LLC and operated by K2 Aviation, was conducting an air tour flight within the Denali National Park and Preserve. The airplane departed from the Talkeetna Airport (TKA), about 1614, for a flight over the Tokositna Glacier before returning to TKA. The pilot reported that, while operating over the upper elevations of the Tokositna Glacier, he initially noticed a propeller rpm fluctuation. In an attempt to correct the rpm fluctuation, he moved the propeller pitch control, but it had no effect on the fluctuating propeller pitch. As the pilot started an emergency descent, the propeller went into a near feathered position, but the engine continued to produce power with a high engine torque indication. He reported that he was unable to move the propeller out of the near feathered position, and that he was unable to maintain altitude. The pilot then selected an area of hilly, alder tree-covered terrain as a forced landing site, resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage and wings.

    The airplane was equipped with a Pratt and Whitney PT6A-60A series turbine engine, and a post-accident examination is pending.

    Somebody buy that pilot a (case of) beer. Great job given the situation, and for 8 passengers to walk away with nothing more than a bad memory, but a good story.

    That is a rock solid system with a long history. It will be very interesting to see what they find. And kudos to the pilot—well done when everyone goes home for dinner.
