MT Accident Indicates Pilot Was 'Noncertificated'
A pilot flying to a company function in Libby, MT last month was "noncertificated", according to a preliminary report from the NTSB. The pilot and one passenger were fatally injured when the airplane, a Beech B100, impacted terrain just after midnight local time after being cleared for the GPS-A approach to Libby Airport (S59). He had reported the field in sight at about 7 miles and cancelled his flight plan. (aero-news.net) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Who cares where all the branches were. Tell us about the noncertificated pilot! What makes him noncertificated, etc...
100% with you, very poor report.
Well, at 7 miles, he had the field in sight. Now, when the cop went to investigate/look, he observed the beacon lit and rotating but no runway lights. Did they just shut off when he crashed, which had probably already happened by that time>
Some of those are turned on by plane (via radio), and will auto shutoff in a given period of time. 7 Miles Visibility seems like he should have made it, but lists fog... Sounds as though the entire report got too foggy.
I'll add some speculation. See BENEKOS post below about the location. He raises an interesting point.
Ok but did that mean for IFR flight or what? Doesnt say there is something left out of the report.
