It seems that a country would want the safest of aircraft, pilot and traffic issues, instead of being decades behind in regulations. Mexico is so backward in respect to other countries.
that is very sad the singer allihia pilot over loaded their plane
Did the engines stall or was it suicide of pilot???
Plane was cleared to FL 370
I rise to a point of order. I keep reading about a 78 year old pilot. None of the pictures tweeted show anyone close to that age. I saw a certificate that had to be used with a Mexican pilots license that allowed the man to fly the Lear as a private pilot using visual flight rules. The birthdate on that certificate looked to me like his birthday was in 1984 making him about 28.
I could never board a 43 year old jet owned by a drug dealer, sit in the back, with a VFR private pilot at the controls. OF A LEAR 25!!!!
May they rest in peace.

@bentwing60...Does Lear say if the Mach tuck event is recoverable at lower altitudes if flight idle is selected and the boards are Not deployed without the gear extension? Or is the gear extension required for recovery once your in it?
