Considers Airworthiness Directive Following Accident With Fatalities In Canada
Transport Canada recently contacted the FAA with concerns for the use of cargo doors as an emergency exit on Cessna 206 models. Following a fatal accident in August 2018, where a float-configured U206G capsized and became submerged after loss of control during landing, the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) of Canada concluded the accident was survivable.
