Vacuum Pump Failure Suspected in Iowa Crash
NTSB investigator George West tentatively blames a vacuum pump malfunction for a Saturday crash near Atkins that killed three aboard a single engine Cessna 210. The loss of suction could have affected the directional gyro and gyro horizon, though other instruments remained likely unaffected. The group's flight path included Ames Waterloo Iowa City and Oshkosh before the crash during a snowstorm.

Officials say a dull dial slot would be filled with IDOT signals via underground cables or buried antennas with roadside signs directing listeners. Test sites would be along interstates with future expansion possible if results prove favorable.
