    Plane crash- not even sure what to say

    I'm not sure that you followed the entire thread but it was reported that the accident pilot had a b737 type rating. Boom took the time to sign up and let us know that the name was misspelled and he actually was a recently certificated commercial pilot.

    I've done it. No big deal. JFK I actually flew in several times. Once in an Aztec VFR at 430 pm on a Sunday. At first they didn't wanna let me in but after some arm twisting they obliged.

    Absolutely. As long as you have decent radio skills they generally allow you to land and taxi back around for take off. Lga the same. As long as it's late, like after midnight.

    I assume you mean landing and fbo fees as the landing fee for a light ga ac is about $28

    Was just clarifying and amplifying your point.

    So what's your point. As a VFR pilot you'd have to be nuts to fly in 1000/3'. Just cuz its legal doesn't mean it's sane.

    A As I said earlier, I agree with you. A GIV-SP is definitely not single pilot. Just an improved version. Sp may stand for superior performance or some such thing.

    Guess there's a reason they went straight to G5...

    Lol no g4 I know of is sp. Yes it's easier for a crew but that wasn't my argument. I said that if this guy was flying into these conditions, one would assume he's done it before. In which case he should've been able to do it again. And if after 2 attempts he failed, then it was time for PLAN B.

    I'm working off the premise that if you're gonna fly into 200/steam bath, you have the skills and balls to go to the map and find the runway. Of a cpl g4's ahead of him found it then presumably he should as well. The prop doesn't impair one's eyesight much vs a jet and if anything flying at 80...

    Apparent so. That's why he kept doing approaches. Like a modern day Moses. Trying to get the pea soup to part. Well, he definitely got his miracle.
