No kidding. A bit of a miracle ending, really.

This made me laugh, as I know exactly who you're talking about. I made the grave mistake of waving her over to explain where I wanted to park to be near my friends that were already there (with open spots next to them). You'd think I just ripped all her fingernails out with the response I got...

I've never understood why aircraft owners were willing to cheap out on headsets for their passengers. As stated above, a headset can make or break someone's flying experience. I've tried them all and have found my favorite to be the DC One-X and I now have multiple pair.

None of the student pilot stuff matters. She is the owner of the airplane. She hired a CFI (and therefore commercial pilot) to fly her in HER airplane. This is 100% legal under part 91 for a commercial pilot to operate and receive compensation. /thread.

There was a lot of initial speculation of suicide. Initial reports from folks claim to have seen it go "straight in". Later it was found out that he had managed a mayday call to ATC for chest pain and trouble breathing. He was having problems finding the airport and ATC was trying to get him...

The thing that worries me is the "anyone can do it! Come on, sign up!" mentality. This type of flying should be treated more like airshows or air racing, IMHO.

Dang, I did my 20's wrong! Spent them being a broke regional pilot, should have been doing this! Nice work, looks great. One of the best small family planes around.

I can't agree with this more. Get some good specialized training in the VFR world. It might just save your life someday, not to mention just being "plane" old fun.

Not landing at that strip does seem odd for sure. But I don't understand why he would buzz some random lady's house? That makes no sense to me. If I were in the business of illegally buzzing houses, I'd buzz my own, my friend's, etc. Not some random person's house.

Does anybody know which house was the house in question? 500' AGL is about 1.7nm from the threshold at a 3 degree slope. Assuming he didn't do a long straight in, I can see how it is plausible that he flew over a house less than 500' while on a stabilized approach. There is no requirement to...

Access to Google Maps is now a requirement of 91.103? The FAA itself published a guide for off-airport ops which includes a low altitude inspection pass. Was that guidance abused? Who knows. The evidence has apparently been deleted.
