Still trying to find out more info. Saw a big ploom of smoke about a mile south of the rwy
They had to have spun to hit as hard as they did. Idk if he tried to turn back or what.Ekk...just saw this on the news..sad!!
. . . I assume the smoke in the cockpit got where he couldn't see and tried to turn back to the field and never made it.... What would be a solution if that happened to you? Break a window? open a window?
Just curious.
Thanks
I have never heard of what you would do when your cockpit fills up with smoke - I'm going on my discovery flight next month and starting my lessons in July. That's pretty scary stuff! I keep reading these trying to figure out what the "right" way to respond would have been (on the cases where its pilot error) in hopes if I ever catch myself in a similar situation I would remember it...
