(Video) Mountain Scrapes Beechcraft Bonanza CFIT Controlled Flight Into Terrain
VFR into IMC. Skip to 1:35 for the action and watch the lower right part of the windshield. (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
worked the tower at South Lake Tahoe 1975-76 - every year during the first few storms in the winter and the last few in the spring a pilot or two would fly into weather, try to penetrate or go under and crash.. we had a map in the tower of the (literally) hundreds of crash sites within 30 miles of the airport - most resulting from pilots that were flying when they shouldn't.... we had the map because a pilot would occasionally fly over a crash site and report it - we would scramble to try to determine if it was new or one of the many old ones
There are so many crashes around Goose Bay, most dating from its time as a WWII staging base and a Cold War USAF base, that they paint a large red "X" on the major pieces of wreckage so searchers will know it's an old site. I was told the climate preserved them and the wrecks I saw from the air were still shiny where they hadn't burned. At that time, only a few had been plotted with GPS, but many more have been since then, which would help around South Lake Tahoe, I think. The red X's would be a good idea, too.
Umm, hello FAA? Yes, I would like to turn in my pilots license. Why? Well because I am stupid. Thanks
How stupid can you get? If you're flying VFR you turn back if you meet IMC conditions. It's as simple as that.
The sad truth that there are unsafe and irresponsible pilots out there...unbelievable
idiots! they put it on U-tube?? they're laughing?
I wonder if the PAX didn't post this.
