Experts examine plane’s engines

Source: The National-Monday,24th October 2011 SALVAGED engine parts of the Airlines PNG Dash 8 aircraft, which crashed in Madang, have been stripped by its manufacturers, Pratt and Whitney. They are being assisted by experts from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau. The engine parts and the propeller blades were airlifted to Port Moresby from Madang last week. Senior transport safety officer from the bureau Eric Blankenstein and a team of technical experts from Singapore will try to establish if there are any mechanical issues in the engine which could have contributed to the accident. Blankenstein was busy at work with a camera and small torch looking intensely at the engine parts and taking photos of the left engine. Assembled neatly was the burnt aluminium alloy of the metal sheets covering the right engine which looked like white paint on all metal pieces. In the front are engine parts of the left and right engines and few mangled blades of the propellers. Blankenstein said they were still stripping the mangled engine parts. Propeller parts will be sent to Hamilton Standards, manufacturer of the propellers in America for further analysis. According to Accident and Investigation Commission chief executive officer, David Inau, the blade angles “when in flight gives corresponding power values so Hamil­ton Standards can be able to tell us at what angle it was set in which we can be able to determine what occurred”. The investigators will also look at the pilot’s flying records, medical records and maintenance records to assist with the investigation. Inau said they hoped to complete their work by next week but the process was tedious and could take longer. Data from the Dash 8’s flight recorder sent overseas for analysis has been downloaded awaiting analysis from the manufacturer. The team is working at the Papua New Guinea Defence Force air transport hangar.

PM in disbelief, says worst aviation disaster in PNG

By ROSALYN ALBANIEL-EVARA �LOOKS like the fire was big and the rocks did not help. This accident is one of the worst in the nation�s history,� the Prime Minister Peter O�Neill said yesterday, in disbelief when he visited the site where the ill-fated Airlines PNG Dash Eight aircraft went down at Marakum, Raicoast District. Mr O�Neill flew into Marakum at about 11.10am and was accompanied by Madang Governor James Gau, Minister for Civil Aviation Puri Ruing, The Chief Executive Officer of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority�s Accident Investigation Commission Captain David Inau, his Chief of Staff Ben Micah, Madang Provincial Administrator Ben Lange, Madang Provincial Police Commander Superintendant and representatives of the media. He was met upon arrival at the crash site by members of the crash investigating team on the ground from CASA, AIC, APNG, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau and the local people who since the crash been keeping vigil over the wreckage. The PM had decided to forego a number of pressing engagements he had, had abroad in Australia and China specifically to visit the crash site and to meet and offer his condolence to the grieving relatives of the 28 passengers who were killed last Thursday. The PM, who was clearly taken aback and moved by the sight, said he had decided to make the visit as this was clearly one of the worst accidents in the nation�s aviation history. He said the nation was at a loss as the number of lives that had been claimed in this once accident was also the largest by far also in the aviation industry. Mr O�Neill said he had also made the trip to also personally thank all the people of Madang for their response efforts soon after the accident had occurred. He also thanked the Government of Australia for the deployment of the investigators from the ATSB and Australian Federal Police who were now on the ground to help carry out the DNA tests to help identify the remains of the victims and also to carry out investigations into the crash so that answers could be provided to the grieving relatives regarding their loved ones. He said PNG still faced a lot of challenges with regards to its infrastructure, adding that with many places still inaccessible by road, many continued to depend heavily on air transport. He said the work being carried out by the investigators on the ground would go a long way in helping authorities in ensuring the air transport system is strengthened and made safe for the travelling public. He also took the opportunity to thank the government of Australia for its help in the investigations The PM said the government would make available K500, 000 to help the families of the 28 people to repatriate their remains back to their place of origins so that they are given a dignified send off. Similar sentiments were also expressed by Mr Gau. During the 20 minute visit, the PM laid a wreath on one of the burnt out propellers of the plane. It was clearly a distressing and moving, he was seen shedding a tear. Other wreaths were laid by Mr Ruing, Mr Gau before a minutes silence was observed in respect of the victims before a prayer was offered by Mr Micah, especially for strength to the grieving relatives. They took time also to meet with the investigators on the ground before boarding a Heli Niugini chopper and headed back to Madang town. Meanwhile, during the day long visit, the PM also attended a moving memorial service which was organised by the Divine Word University for the six students who lost their loved ones and relatives of the other passengers who were also on board that APNG Dash Eight. It was a solemn event which saw the whole town showing up to show their support. There he addressed all before visiting the Modilon General Hospital.
