the Beechcraft 1900C also had the capability to sustain safe flight with single engine operation. This suggests that pilot error may be the main cause of the accident. Investigators reviewed the CVR data and stated that the pilot may have lacked situational awareness. After experiencing the abnormal engine No 2 operation, at one stage the cockpit crew indicated confusion about the engine No 1 or 2 and subsequently transmitted incorrect information to the ATC Tower that they were experiencing abnormal operation of engine No 1. The first officer was exposed to a serious level of stress and anxiety when he observed the propeller feathering of No 2 (right) engine. The situation was aggravated due to the fact that the auto feathering was selected to "Off" which entailed the cockpit crew to manually manage feathering of the propeller in case of any anomaly. He did communicate to the captain correct information; however, the captain did not register engine No 2 and told him to inform ATC Tower that they were experiencing problem with engine No 1 and FO communicated the same without questioning the captain or correcting himself. He was mentally preoccupied to a level where he could not perform the recommended remedial action. Thus, he did not effectively contribute towards handling of abnormal set of conditions. Investigators checking the captain's flight history discovered that his performance during simulator training check flights remained consistently below acceptable levels. He was not able to safely handle training scenarios during critical phases of takeoff and post-takeoff, and was only able to achieve satisfactory performance levels with coaching during these mandatory exercises. The final report stated that the captain suffered from "lack of confidence" and also revealed that the captain lacked the required proficiency and skills to independently handle aircraft operations with a single functioning engine during critical phases of flight. Investigators concluded that the cockpit crew neither discussed nor raised the landing gear after takeoff. The wreckage also confirmed the landing gear were in the extended position at the time of ground impact. The Beechcraft 1900C aircraft has a very low rate of climb with landing gear in extended position due to increased drag while operating with a single engine. Any banking of the aircraft would aggravate the situation and the marginal rate of climb would degrade into a rate of descent, which happened in this particular case.
