Can't find any information about that anywhere. Link?

If you're still bored... Can you call whatever FISDO is in his area and inquire about his status of being a pilot? That's public knowledge correct? That might clear all of this up :lol: and you'd be a hero of course.

Didn't they locate the wreckage via the pilot's cell phone ping?

Crash happened about 20 miles north of my home airport. Conditions were MVFR with puffy cumulus yesterday. It appears he was maybe flying either the LDA 34 or RNAV 34 and turning inbound from the east. ATC audio playback is all static so can't tell. Pretty benign conditions for a rated and...

Learned something today. Thanks.

Not saying it contributed to the accident in any way but was anyone else shocked to read the left seat pilot had amphetamines in her system?? Wasn't she a career pilot and also in the guard? Seems like a massive risk to be taking drugs like that knowing you could get tested at any point... and I...

I saw a comment on Facebook claiming a witnesses saw the aircraft on fire in a steep descent. Likely was a flight testing out the aircraft's new autopilot that was recently installed.

LOL. It's actually historical METAR data, not TAF. http://aviationwxchartsarchive.com/product/metar Airport was closed for a while yesterday... not sure if it was related. Pilot's name is Chris Lamb. Pretty active on Facebook with his flying endeavors recently and seems decently experienced...

0.252 g/dl is actually just 0.252 % BAC if I'm not mistaken. 3x the legal limit to drive according to the femoral sample. Does the 0.348 g/dl in lung mean that a breathe test would show something close to that? Or no?
