The pilot of a Cessna 152 aircraft departed Kingston, Ont., and was returning to Brampton on a night VFR flight. After receiving the last radar vector from Toronto terminal and with Brampton Airport in sight, the pilot closed his flight plan. At approximately six nautical miles from the airport, the engine (Lycoming 0-235) stopped due to fuel exhaustion and the pilot conducted a forced landing on Runway 26. The wind at the time of the occurrence was reported as 100/13G18. While landing with a tailwind, the aircraft overran the runway and nosed down when it contacted soft ground at the end of the runway. The aircraft sustained substantial damage as it came to rest in an inverted position. The pilot was not injured.
And from the stupid file: Ontario August 9, 2001 CAR 605.03 (1) 14 days licence suspension CAR 605.94 (1) 3 days licence suspension 17 days total suspension A private pilot after landing his aircraft noticed a wire dangling from a wing tip and a 10 inch furrow along the wing. The pilot subsequently repaired the wing with duct tape and carried out two trips with the aircraft in this condition. There was no entry in the journey log reflecting the damage or the repair carried out. On further investigation it became apparent that an AME was required to carry out the repair and that the aircraft would have been grounded. The pilot was assessed two seven-day suspensions for taking off when the conditions in the flight authority were not met and a three-day suspension for failing to make an entry in the journey log. _______________________ Scott MacLean [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 9184011 http://www.nerosoft.com
