Ok, so I must be missing something here! Was it a PA 31 310 or 350, or a PA 34 200T. 6 adults and 3/4 tanks would be no issue for a PA31 for a trip less than 3 hours. What I don't get is what were they doing at 12000' The Chieftain does quite well on one engine when flown properly and lowering the gear does not cause a stall. Allowing your airspeed to deteriorate from increased drag however will!
According to the registration data, it was a 1984 PIPER PA-31-325 with LYCOMING TI0-540 SER
Thx Jeff. At least if it was an engine failure, that's the easiest model to fly on one engine. Obviously something went haywire.

Partial ATC recordings are included in the news station report. Clearly something occurred during the flight to cause issues.
Where can we find the ATC transmissions?
