Final Approach
I read an interesting NTSB report and I have a few observations, questions and opinions that I would like to use as a starting point for discussion.
The report is listed here:
Factual
Probable Cause
Observation:
The report is very extensive, more than usual
Question:

Question:
- I wonder what the cloud tops looked like
- Anyone know what typical weather is in that part of the country, that time of day/year?
- Why does it appear the NTSB went above and beyond with this investigation? Was the pilot a celebrity or otherwise wealthy person? Was there a lawsuit involved?
- I do not believe there ever was smoke in the cockpit....maybe smoke and mirrors
- I am of the opinion the breaker was not of the correct type in spite of the 337 in the logs
- The CFII was negligent in allowing a pilot with known aircraft control deviations to: 1) fly in IMC 2) loose control of the aircraft
