Pilot went max climb moments before losing radar contact. That probably explains the witness reports of hearing the engines struggle. Sadly this is starting to look preventable. RIP to all lost.

I appreciate the clarification. That is pretty much how I was interpreting it but wanted to get the experts verification. As for flying when ambient temp is below freezing I figure there are airframe limitations based on temperature but am unaware of any FAA restrictions. If there are I would...

I’m working on my PPL and have my night flight coming up. I’m down in the south where the humidity is high and the forecast that day is calling for 30 F temperatures. Other than the humidity it’s supposed to be clear that night. I’m anticipating some carb icing which isn’t a problem with the...

Your advice makes a lot of sense. Thank You.
