THUNDER BAY — The Transportation Safety Board of Canada says a steep turn on takeoff was likely the cause of an Aug. 16, 2021 plane crash that took the life of pilot Peter Balodis.
The report also issued a warning that if air traffic controllers engage in communications that may be perceived by pilots as condoning certain maneuvers, they are more likely to continue to conduct them and could lead to an accident occurring. Balodis was conducting a visual flight rules, or bird-dog, flight from Thunder Bay to the Dryden Regional Airport, and was the only person on board the flight, which began its takeoff at 9:09 p.m. on Aug. 16, 2021.
