NEW 206 CATCHES FIRE, CAUSING CRASH LANDING...
   Last Friday a 1999 normally aspirated Cessna 206H caught fire in
flight and crash-landed at Mayville, NY.  The pilot survived with
significant injuries.  Though few details are available at this moment,
it is reported that the cowling was blown off in flight after the fire
started.  Obviously such an incident involving a low time, new
production aircraft catches the attention of many.  The NTSB, the FAA
and Cessna are all investigating and CPA is following the
investigations very closely.
