[quote]The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) released its report this week on the fatal training accident that claimed two lives last year near Calgary’s Springbank airport (CYBW). Both the flight instructor and his student were killed in the October 26, 2017 accident.
The accident aircraft, a Piper PA-34-300T (Seneca II), was used by Springbank Air Training College (SATC) for multi-engine training.
after reaching [b]80[/b] KCAS, the Seneca lifted off from Runway 17 and retracted its gear. The aircraft reached [b]90 [/b]KCAS at about 15 seconds after takeoff, the maximum speed it obtained during the flight.
... a simulated left-engine-failure was undertaken ...
The maximum altitude the Piper reached was 250 feet AGL, at about 40 seconds after takeoff, at which point [size=14pt][u]the airspeed had decreased to [b]70[/b] KCAS[/u][/size].
Approximately 70 seconds after takeoff, the Seneca rolled to the left and entered a steep, descending left turn to the ground[/quote]
A Vmc demo. Likely trying to follow TC's silly engine failure procedure, which killed them both.
See "meatball multi-engine takeoff". And for the love of sweet Baby Jesus,
