2019 Chamberlain Pilatus PC-12 crash
On November 30, 2019, a Pilatus PC-12/47E airplane crashed into the ground near the Chamberlain Municipal Airport in Chamberlain, South Dakota. The crash killed nine people and seriously injured three.
Aircraft
The airplane was a single-engine Pilatus PC-12, which was not required to have a voice or flight data recorder. [1] The airplane was registered to Conrad & Bischoff Inc. and was operated as a personal aircraft by the pilot. The flight originated from Chamberlain Municipal Airport and was destined for Idaho Falls Regional Airport in Idaho Falls, Idaho. [2]
There were twelve passengers on board, ranging in age from 7 to 81 years old. [3]
Incident
The passengers arrived on November 29, with freezing rain and snow reported that day. Because no empty hangars were available, the plane remained outside until its scheduled departure on November 30, while a winter storm warning was in effect. [4] The family members were in the area for a hunting trip. [5]
Due to the small size of the Chamberlain airport, the family brought deicing supplies with them and purchased more locally after arrival. [4]
Victims
Of the twelve family members on board, nine were killed and three were seriously injured. [3] The president of the wellness company Kyäni released a statement identifying the deceased family members, which included the company's founders. [6]
