Everyone on Molokai was holding their breath, thinking it was a Mokulele flight. Terrible thing, especially around the holidays. Prayers to the families.
Yes, Kamaka Air. They help Mokulele at times. I heard all the Mokulele pilots aren't flying today. The Pilot in the crash had helped train the Mokulele pilots.
While it is inappropriate to speculate at this early point, given the communications quoted in the article, plus the dash cam videos, I doubt winds played a role. The videos show the plane in a steep bank and the pilot references control problems:
Tower: Kamaka Flight 689, you’re turning right, correct? Pilot: Kamaka 689, we are, we have, uh, we’re out of control here. Tower: Okay, Kamaka 689, if you can land, if you can level it off, that’s fine. Any runway, any place you can do.
High winds can make it more difficult to land or even to takeoff, but a sustained steep bank followed by a crash is not consistent with a wind-induced accident. Some kind of problem with the flight controls or an engine failure followed by a poorly executed attempt to return to the runway would be more plausible explanations. Eventually the NTSB will sort it out.
