DA62 fatal in Brazil, EFATO

PR-VSJ, serial number 62.041, crashed in Brazil yesterday, following an engine failure after takeoff from the city of Goiânia.

Two pilots onboard. The pilot on the right side died today.

I'm originally from Brazil myself and I've been talking to the pilot community there. This airplane had been having governor issues. Rumor on the street is that one of the props suffered an overspeed after takeoff. Let's see what the investigation says.

This is the very first DA62 fatal where the airplane seems to have been a contributing factor. The other one in Dubai was a wake turbulence behind an A350, where the pilots ignored the tower caution.

That simply isn't true. Even the final report that puts some blame to the pilot for reducing self-separation, doesn't mention ignoring tower caution because there wasn't one. The warning hasn't been issued so the pilot didn't ignore it.

This is the quote from report: "The air traffic controller providing the control service during the first five approaches issued air traffic information and essential local air traffic information to all air traffic, including issuing cautionary warnings of possible wake turbulence from heavier air traffic on approach to runway 30R. After the hand-over the second controller continued to issue air traffic information and essential local air traffic information to all air traffic. However, cautionary warnings of possible wake turbulence encounters were no longer provided."

Oh I didn't know that. I stand corrected then.
