Cirrus crashes at KAND
BREAKING NOW: At least one confirmed fatality. Will post more details asap. (m.foxcarolina.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Could be. News didnt mention KGMU, but he could have been flying around the area VFR. Said he picked up a buddy in Hendersonville NC before coming to KAND. Registration seems to fit.
"Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore said that the pilot, William Hayden, 58, was from Ohio and owned property in the Hendersonville area."

Pilot's friend who witnessed the crash said he thought it might have stalled after taking off.
Weather here was perfect today.

Early on would-be pilots were under the impression that the safety features of this aircraft would prevent a pilot from being behind the experience curve, or at least give a last ditch way out. Whether portrayed by the Cirrus sales staff or just wishful thinking by the newbie pilots, that attitude has led to disaster.
Discussing the topic of de-ice techniques one Cirrus owner told me his plane had a fool-proof de-ice system activated by the 'chute deployment handle - and by his tone I realized he meant it. In the end, every aircraft is safe when well maintained and flown by a trained pilot. The limitation of the Cirrus is not the design, it is the pilot.
