Has anyone heard how the pilot is from the crash last night. Nes said she was talking when they life flight end her out.
The police are crediting her skill with saving her life.
That's all the report said.

Saw this report this morning: http://www.kvue.com/news/Pilot-in-stable-condition-after-plane-crash-in-Baytown-198678901.html

Another report (here) says she was flying from Mississippi to La Porte.

Long flight...engine stopped...no post-crash fire......nope, I got nothin'. Have to wait for the NTSB report.

It looks like she was 4 miles S/W of Baytown (HPY) and 6 miles N/E of LaPort (T41). Sure points to fuel, but then again…..

 

[DaytonaLynn]

I was thinking fuel too. I don't know a lot about planes yet, but that does not seem a long time to be that low in fuel. So hoepfully it was somekind of failure not related to pilot.

It is always good to see the pilot survive, especially with only minor injuries.

The local Helicopter EMS (Hermann life flight) used to launch automatically on all aircraft accidents.. Dont know if thats still the case.. In any event, one of them is based at Baytown muni...

[cross post from the thread you started with same message]

Flying with someone is more fun.

But doing solo flights is a confidence booster. Reminds me that I can do this, and do it well, without relying on someone to my right to act as a crutch.

I encourage you to go on so local and regional solo flights. If it helps, do a through flight planning session, including chair flying, prepare all of your needed check lists, planning logs, flight kit. Then seek out a nice smooth flying day and go for it.
