Canadian operator Summit Air Charters has modified icing procedures after an incident in which both engines on a Dornier 228 flamed out just after take-off on a service to Yellowknife.
The turboprop had been departing the remote Cahcho Kue in the Northwest Territories on 19 January, according to a Transport Canada bulletin.
It states that the aircraft, with six passengers and two crew members, had arrived from Summit’s Yellowknife base with the anti-ice for the engine inlet active.
The aircraft stayed on the ground for 10-15min, parked into wind, while it was unloaded and reloaded. Wind speeds were around 25kt, gusting to 30kt, with blowing snow.
