Global Aviation News Article

Rocky
Mountain News, "Air ambulance too low on approach;
Agency investigating crash that killed 3 near Rawlins,
Wyo."
The
Steamboat Springs-based air ambulance that crashed about
three miles from the Rawlins, Wyo., airport was flying too
low and hit a ridge, officials said Thursday.
"For some reason
he was coming too low," Carbon County Sheriff Jerry R. Colson said. "He
was coming in for a final approach to land, had his landing gear down, and it
was snowing. Possibly, he thought he was higher than he was."
Investigators also were
strongly looking at the possibility that ice on the wings may have caused the
pilot to lose control of the twin-turbine aircraft Tuesday night, according to
a source familiar with the investigation. Evidence at the crash site suggested
ice may have played a role in the crash, the source said.
