Skymaster Arctic Circle Ditching.

[ipasgas1]

I, too, had an engine failure but in a single engine aircraft. It had a Rotax 912ULS engine. But, I have often wondered if the cold had something to do with the failure. The NTSB and Rotax said it was due to oil starvation due to a "collapse" of an oil hose. It was MLK day, 4 years ago, and happened to be the coldest day of the year, around 0 degrees F on the ground. I had no warning of the impending failure, it was sudden and finite. The extreme cold sounds like a very likely culprit. I now fly a skymaster for the added engine but I still, and moreso after this, will not fly in extreme cold.
