BAD ONE yesterday:
Four dead, 6 injured in plane crash in southwest Alaska
Sat, Nov 30 06:11 AM EST
JUNEAU, Alaska (Reuters) - A Cessna 208 with at least 10 people on board crashed in southwest Alaska on Friday evening, killing four people including the pilot and injuring six others, officials said.
The small, single-engine aircraft, heading for St. Mary's from Bethel, two small settlements in a remote area of the U.S. state, was reported missing at about 7 p.m. local time (2300 ET Friday), said Megan Peters, a spokeswoman for the Alaska State Troopers.
The wreckage was located near St. Mary's at about 8:30 p.m. local time. Alaska State Troopers were on the scene and treating the injured, but the extent of the injuries was unclear, Peters said. The cause of the crash was not immediately known.
"Our main focus is the people that are alive that need medical attention - the 'why' comes after," Peters said.
An air ambulance service, among other agencies, was assisting Alaska State Troopers. The National Transportation Safety Board has been notified.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A final report by the National Transportation Safety Board concludes an Australian pilot likely became spatially disoriented in poor weather before crashing near Fairbanks last year.
The NTSB says in the probable cause report it's likely the pilot lost control of the rented Piper Saratoga and "entered a steep spiraling dive from which he was unable to recover."
The 64-year-old pilot, Stephen Knight, of Queensland, Australia, and his 60-year-old wife, Gillian Knight, died July 18, 2012, about 43 miles north of Fairbanks. The couple was part of a group of three sightseeing planes.
The NTSB says the pilot began the trip using visual flight rules, later asking for instrument clearance despite not being rated for instrument flying. KTUU on Thursday first reported the findings of the Dec. 5 report.

Wow
Hope they are OK. Dave often writes articles for Sport Aviation, Kit Planes etc, those of you at my little talk at Oshkosh last year may remember him. He was there, participated, answered several questions and is a super helpful guy.
Bummer.

Emergency landing: Plane was on maintenance flight when it lost power
The pilot of a small airplane made a successful emergency landing in the middle of an East Anchorage street, and neither he nor two passengers were injured, police and fire officials said.
The red-and-white Cessna 172RG Cutlass landed in a snowy median, without hitting any vehicles, on Boniface Parkway near Perry Drive a little after 1 p.m. After the landing, the pilot and passengers stepped out, and the single-engine plane could be seen resting on the median as cars and trucks drove past on each side.
The two lanes of traffic closest to the plane on the four-lane street were soon closed. Later, all northbound traffic was diverted around the plane for about two hours.
Police Lt. Mark Thelen said the pilot reported losing power after taking off from Merrill Field. ........

We had an A-1C-200 Husky crash on take off out of LAM last month. Likely took off with wing contamination (frost/ice) under gusty wind conditions, made a mid field turn out at low altitude into a restricted area to avoid overflying the residential area west of the airport, then tightened the turn when he found a windshield full of water towers or discovered that he had entered restricted air space. He stalled and crashed into the canyon 400 yds south of the runway. Intense fire with pilot and passenger both dead.

Before landing check list "gear down" 
Be sure to say OUT LOUD "THIS IS A WATER LANDING THE GEAR IS UP" Then look out the window to confirm. Then again, on short final, check the gear handle with your hand, and look at the lights, and AGAIN say OUT LOUD "THIS IS A WATER LANDING THE GEAR IS UP" If you do not say this out loud, it is very possible that you can miss it completely.The gearwarning systems which are available are a help, but DO NOT depend on them. They can lead you into complacency. This type of accident happens WAY TOOOOO OFTEN!

Dave, I did not mean it the way you took it. They look like a set of Baumanns or EDO 2500s, and since the airplane is likely bent, maybe they would sell the floats to Bill for his new Cub.

I think the best recourse.. is to get rid of all the idiot lights.. the vocal intercom crap.. "check landing gear for water landing" BS and just look out the damn windows. Latest I know of is a Caravan landing gear UP on pavement in NW Ontario.. thank god wasn't gear down at camp landing on the water.

Amen!!! Mount a couple of cheap mirrors on the wings, and look out the windows. Oh, and get your head out of your arse..... All these "crutches" aren't helping, and I'm betting that amphib insurance rates are going to skyrocket, if they haven't already.
