"No A SAI) SA DS Ty TY aa Se LAT A STEERER 6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tues. September 14, 1982 Inquest into crash (From page 1) Thomas Johnston had flown solo for about six hours prior to the crash. And he had about 27 hours flying with an instructor. Muntaz Hussain, chief instructor with the Oshawa Flying Club, described his student as "very keen and very hard working. He did what he was told. His pro- gress (as a student pilot) had been pretty good," he said. Mr. Hussain said Johnston had been tested for spins and stalls a few days before the accident and "performed well." He said on the morn- ing of the accident, he told Johnston to practise turns, slow flight, stalls and (simulated) forced landings. The type of spin the plane was in just before the crash was described as a "flat spin," which Mr. Hussain said is rare and not taught to students. The federal inspector Mr. Phillips confirmed this in his testimony, stating he had only heard of one other case of a "'flat spin" in that type of aircraft. To recover from a "flat spin' a pilot would need 3000 feet at least. He said a "flat spin' at low altitudes would leave no chance for recovery. The inquest was told that flying conditions the morning of the crash were good, and that even a brisk wind of 15 to 20 knots would not have any affects on air- craft. Mr. Phillips said investiga- tions revealed the Piper Tomahawk owned by the Oshawa Flying Club for three years, had been pro- perly maintained and the airworthiness certificates were in order. He said there was no sign of any mechan- ical failure. Ross Love, operations manager for the Oshawa Flying Club told the inquest letters the 4000 foot ceiling in the practise area had been of concern, and in fact this is only 3000 fee above ground level. After the inquest, Mr. Love told the Star he agrees with the jury's recommendations that the ceiling be raised to 7000 (6000 feet above ground level). He said learner pilots from Oshawa, Peterborough, Lindsay, Toronto Island, Buttonville and Greenbank airports use the roughly 35 square mile area for practise flying. Coroner, Dr. Robert Allin of Port Perry, who presided over the inquest, also agreed with jury's recommenda- tions and the finding that the death was accidental. Dr. Allin said the recomm- endations would be for- warded to Ontario Chief Coroner for review and then sent to the appropriate federal agencies. 3 a ; i AHI OU OL Zon itl Ca Erie Md .

The sweaters were donated by sponsors who were, for the most part, also upset upon hearing Mr. Allen's plans. The equipment was bought through various fund raising events and registration fees which was, as parents, helped to pay for. As far as the size of our ice surface goes, it's plenty big enough for the smaller children to play on and learn & the basics of hockey. If there is enough interest among the older boys, whose parents don't wish to transport them to Port Perry or Manvers and pay the higher regis- tration fees, I'm sure. that the ice surface will be adequate enough. We are very fortunate in a | village this size to have an arena with artificial ice where our children and we, as adults, can participate in the various winter activities.

Neither my husband, elected as Head of Coaches, nor myself would have agreed to the above as all Equipment and Sweaters belong to the Community and the Sponsors.
