A report released today sheds some light on the cause of a helicopter crash that killed Pilot Tiffany Hanna. The Transportation Safety Board says icing in the carburetor led to an engine failure back in November. The Robinson R22 crashed in a drainage pond at Waterloo Regional Airport, shortly after take-off. The TSB report says -- "Environmental conditions were conducive to serious carburetor icing," said Ewan Tasker, Investigator-in-Charge. "There were no pre-impact mechanical failures or system malfunctions that would have contributed to this accident, so the ice accumulation likely led to engine failure." Hanna, a 29-year-old Woodstock flight instructor and mother of two, was killed in the crash. Also in the helicopter that day was Hanna's 22-year-old student, Scott Puillandre, a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. He survived despite suffering serious injuries.
