This A/C has a TPE 331 and Hartzell Prop STC installed in 2005. The pilot had logged over 29,000 hours. Lot's of factors for FAA/NTSB investigators to research. It's a long process. Media should not jump to conculsions about causes.

I flew Turbine Otters out of Ketchikan, AK during the summer of 2006 for a Part 135 operator. The best float plane I've ever flown. There a no flight recorders on these aircraft.
