What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On February 9, 2024, about 1517 eastern standard time, a Bombardier Inc CL-600-2B16, privacy data omitted, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Naples, Florida. The two airline transport pilots were fatally injured. The cabin attendant and the two passengers sustained minor injuries, and one person on the ground suffered minor injury. The airplane was operated by privacy data omitted (doing business as privacy data omitted as a title 14 code of federal regulations part 135 on-demand passenger flight.
The airplane was returning to Naples municipal airport (apf), Naples, Florida, from Ohio state university airport (osu), columbus, Ohio, where it had flown earlier in the day. The airplane was serviced with 350 gallons of fuel before departure from osu.
Preliminary automatic dependent surveillance – broadcast (ADS-B) flight track and air traffic control (ATC) data revealed that the flight crew contacted the ATC tower at apf while on a right downwind leg of the approach to the airport and maneuvering for a 5-mile final approach to runway 23. At 1508, the tower controller cleared the flight to land. The airplane was about 6.5 miles north of apf, about 2,000 ft geometric altitude (geo) and 166 knots groundspeed, as it turned for the base leg of the traffic pattern.
A preliminary review of the data recovered from the airplane’s flight data recorder revealed that the first of three master warnings was recorded at 1509:33 (l engine oil pressure), the second immediately following at 1509:34 (r engine oil pressure), and at 1509:40 (engine). The system alerted pilots with illumination of a “master warning” light on the glareshield, a corresponding red message on the crew alerting system page and a triple chime voice advisory (“engine oil”). Twenty seconds later, at 1510:05, about 1,000 ft MSL and 122 KTS, on a shallow intercept angle for the final approach course, the crew announced, “…lost both engines… emergency… making an emergency landing” (see figure 1). The tower controller acknowledged the call and cleared the airplane to land. At 1510:12, about 900 ft and 115 knots, the crew replied, “we are cleared to land but we are not going to make the runway… ah… we have lost both engines.” there were no further transmissions from the flight crew and the ADS-B track data ended at 1510:47, directly over interstate 75 in Naples, Florida.
As the FAA filed it
ON FEBRUARY 9, 2024, ABOUT 1517 EASTERN STANDARD TIME, A BOMBARDIER INC CL-600-2B16, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, WAS DESTROYED WHEN IT WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT NEAR NAPLES, FLORIDA. THE TWO AIRLINE TRANSPORT PILOTS WERE FATALLY INJURED. THE CABIN ATTENDANT AND THE TWO PASSENGERS SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES, AND ONE PERSON ON THE GROUND SUFFERED MINOR INJURY. THE AIRPLANE WAS OPERATED BY ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ (DOING BUSINESS AS ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AS A TITLE 14 CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS PART 135 ON-DEMAND PASSENGER FLIGHT.
THE AIRPLANE WAS RETURNING TO NAPLES MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (APF), NAPLES, FLORIDA, FROM OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY AIRPORT (OSU), COLUMBUS, OHIO, WHERE IT HAD FLOWN EARLIER IN THE DAY. THE AIRPLANE WAS SERVICED WITH 350 GALLONS OF FUEL BEFORE DEPARTURE FROM OSU.
PRELIMINARY AUTOMATIC DEPENDENT SURVEILLANCE – BROADCAST (ADS-B) FLIGHT TRACK AND AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL (ATC) DATA REVEALED THAT THE FLIGHT CREW CONTACTED THE ATC TOWER AT APF WHILE ON A RIGHT DOWNWIND LEG OF THE APPROACH TO THE AIRPORT AND MANEUVERING FOR A 5-MILE FINAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 23. AT 1508, THE TOWER CONTROLLER CLEARED THE FLIGHT TO LAND. THE AIRPLANE WAS ABOUT 6.5 MILES NORTH OF APF, ABOUT 2,000 FT GEOMETRIC ALTITUDE (GEO) AND 166 KNOTS GROUNDSPEED, AS IT TURNED FOR THE BASE LEG OF THE TRAFFIC PATTERN.
A PRELIMINARY REVIEW OF THE DATA RECOVERED FROM THE AIRPLANE’S FLIGHT DATA RECORDER REVEALED THAT THE FIRST OF THREE MASTER WARNINGS WAS RECORDED AT 1509:33 (L ENGINE OIL PRESSURE), THE SECOND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING AT 1509:34 (R ENGINE OIL PRESSURE), AND AT 1509:40 (ENGINE). THE SYSTEM ALERTED PILOTS WITH ILLUMINATION OF A “MASTER WARNING” LIGHT ON THE GLARESHIELD, A CORRESPONDING RED MESSAGE ON THE CREW ALERTING SYSTEM PAGE AND A TRIPLE CHIME VOICE ADVISORY (“ENGINE OIL”). TWENTY SECONDS LATER, AT 1510:05, ABOUT 1,000 FT MSL AND 122 KTS, ON A SHALLOW INTERCEPT ANGLE FOR THE FINAL APPROACH COURSE, THE CREW ANNOUNCED, “…LOST BOTH ENGINES… EMERGENCY… MAKING AN EMERGENCY LANDING” (SEE FIGURE 1). THE TOWER CONTROLLER ACKNOWLEDGED THE CALL AND CLEARED THE AIRPLANE TO LAND. AT 1510:12, ABOUT 900 FT AND 115 KNOTS, THE CREW REPLIED, “WE ARE CLEARED TO LAND BUT WE ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE THE RUNWAY… AH… WE HAVE LOST BOTH ENGINES.” THERE WERE NO FURTHER TRANSMISSIONS FROM THE FLIGHT CREW AND THE ADS-B TRACK DATA ENDED AT 1510:47, DIRECTLY OVER INTERSTATE 75 IN NAPLES, FLORIDA.
