Three new lawsuits have now been filed against the operators and manufacturers of a seaplane that crashed off Whidbey Island last year, killing 10 people.
, the 44th member of NTSB, is requesting the FAA and its Canadian counterparts to require all operators of de Havilland Canada DHC-3 planes to inspect a device in the tail that came apart in the plane that crashed.
“The potential for a catastrophic loss of control of another airplane warrants immediate and mandatory action,” Homendy said. “Our recommendation is that they look at the horizontal stabilizer actuator lock ring and make sure that it’s in place and secure.” Approximately 65 of these planes operate in the U.S., including many of them in the Puget Sound region.
The lawsuits all allege that the defendants should have maintained and inspected the aircraft and had a duty to ensure a safe flight.A statement was released to KIRO 7 from SGB, the law firm representing the families of the victims: Out of respect for the families who continue to grieve their loved ones, we are limiting our remarks on this case but can refer you to the attached complaint. We appreciate your understanding.
