A series of operational oversights led a newly hired Yute Commuter Service pilot to depart in poor weather, resulting in a deadly 2020 plane crash in Southwest Alaska, according to an NTSB report.
On Feb. 6, 2020, the Piper PA-32 left the Bethel Airport for Kipnuk, a village about 80 miles southwest. During the flight, investigators said Matthews likely experienced flat light and whiteout conditions, which caused the plane to crash into snow-covered terrain roughly 12 miles southwest of Tuntutuliak about a half hour after departure., 18; Quintin’s mother, Carrie Peter, 45; Charlie Carl, 66; and Donna Mesak, 42, all died.
Investigators said they were unable to locate a risk assessment form for the flight, which company officials said is completed by the pilot and then assessed by whomever is in charge of releasing the flight that day. Investigators could not determine who approved the flight to depart that morning, the report said.
In the aftermath of the crash, the former general manager told a reporter the company planned to add safety requirements, including an increased training period for new pilots and limits on how far they could fly. Both Carrie Peter and Donna Mesak were mothers, she said, and they are deeply missed by their children.
