The first thing that comes to my mind when I watch that video is possible mechanical failure. You can bet your a$$ he was pulling that release with everything he had well before the stall. I hope there’s enough left there to determine the cause. Hate to see a good pilot get blamed for poor...

Same principle applies Here is your quote “I clearly responded with Class D airports” As you so kindly highlighted above, that is in fact not how you responded. Not arguing about things I don’t know, just making you aware of the incorrect statements your making

Actually you didn’t. Here is what you responded with. You used the general term “airspace” which could mean any air space some of which would accommodate faster aircraft. I can include a screenshot if you like. on a side note. Are you always such a tool or do you only make that accommodation on...

I clearly stated a class D airport. I’ll pull up some info on aircraft in class D and post the percentage of 200kt plus people in the pattern. I’ll give you a hint. It’s not even close to double digits

All this talk of speeds at 3-5-10 miles out or at a controlled airport is completely irrelevant to this situation. The one single issue here is the fact this guy was still doing 160mph, give or take, over the numbers as exemplified by the distance after impact, as well as the fact that the...

Let’s add a caveat to this scenario and see if some here have a different opinion let’s say the 152 didn’t have a radio. Now who would you put the blame on? He would be the lower and slower and closest to the runway right? Same goes for the 340 driver. Let’s say his com died 15 miles out...

Placing blame is precisely what you were trying to do with your question about see and avoid

Let me see if I can dumb it down for you 1. Clearly see and avoid was not properly executed to a successful outcome. 2. When this gets litigated it will come down to who bares majority responsibly 3. My money’s on the 340 guy being in the losers corner when it’s all said and done

Reading some of the comments here is a bit disturbing. It is completely unreasonable to think that you should have to anticipate traffic on a 1-2 or 3 mile final going 200mph! I don’t care if it’s a turbine, jet, or rocket powered for that matter. I’m willing to bet that for most of us, when we...

My only question is why not get closer to shore? I don’t see any obstacles or people but I wasn’t behind the yolk

Those same critics are the ones that get bent out of shape when a blade of grass in their front yard is at 89° rather than 90°. It’s humorous really

Well said

Makes sense. Let’s crucify him for answering one of if not the most popular question asked of someone. you gotta come up with something better than that.

It’s truly unfortunate how cynical some here are. I guess “zero” experience would need to be clarified. Also remember it was all the news networks that promoted the “zero” word. In all the interviews I’ve seen never does that word come out of his mouth. Initially there were some here that...

He already has
