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]
Ha found out about the pilot from a person who knew him from Libby, he never had any licence. His family had always had airplanes thats how he learned. A few years back he started to get one. Didnt get very far into it either. No instruction he also had a jet that he flew but always had a pilot with him. The runway lights were on for there period of time and timed out. He went over a service station several miles away in heavy snow at about 300ft. This was before he would have turned final so he never could have had the airport in sight due to weather. It was also reported that this was not unusual for him to do either. No old bold pilot here just a dead one that took someone with him. All of this was told to my friend who knows several people there and who are pilots too.
tks, man and below too.
Did Boyd Butler approve this message? He is the Owner of Flight Aware apperently
All speculation is irrelevant if the guy didnt even have a pilots license!!!!!!
I'll add some speculation. See BENEKOS post below about the location. He raises an interesting point.
Was the passenger maybe a "certificated" pilot?? Maybe??
