If they were flying from west to east that's an interesting spot. Chances are also likely that that plane was under avy debris for a while.

Ok maybe it's just me, but that road is scetchy enough with out fawking planes landing on it
If they can land a plane in the middle of Calgary and not hit anyone the highway would be pretty safe imo.

Most likely a new Canadian in a transport truck at that.

I would say he was iced up and most likely didn’t have any visibility at that time and just ended up hitting the ground that close to the highway by fluke. Mooney’s are a fast plane but don’t have as much lift as say a Cessna 182 so icing has a much faster effect. Rodgers pass is notoriously bad for icing and once you leave revy there’s really no turning back if your in a plane flying under the weather. It closes in fast. We have had to set down quite a few times for weather going through the pass but in a helicopter it’s a bit easier to land. I’m glad they found the plane and can finally bring closure to the families.
Yeah I feel bad for the family. Pretty risky to be flying a plane like that through there imo.

Yes it gets tight through there and if visibility drops you end up flying into a mountain.
