Rainman Wanttaja :D

Merely questioning if something like this were a possible contributor to the pilot's advancement despite documented deficiencies in his skillset was enough to get me censored here when the pilot's background first came to light.

Oh no you didn't! Prior experience tells me a reprimand coming in 3..2..1..

Video shows him descending towards the park before it came apart, and they were only a few miles from an airport t, so I wonder if there was a problem forcing a landing before the TR came off.

They must have removed the video?

Sadly ironic that he was the cover photo on Plane & Pilot magazine, featuring a story titled "LOST ENGINE! How Will You React?"

I see. Just as I suspected.

Can you provide a source for this assertion?

I mean, you read the evaluators' comments, in some cases following the same themes multiple times, and it would be hard NOT to predict this guy would be at the controls during a crash. - Tunnel Vision - Regressing Situational Awareness - Trying too hard/going too fast/gets ahead of himself -...

Looks like they had just acquired the plane a couple days ago. He (and perhaps she with him) owned an adventure-for-hire company called MillionWaysToDie.com .

That's one hell of a leak making a growing puddle under the fuselage too. Fuel?

From the first article: "Crews were working to clean up spilled fuel at the location." Granted, it doesn't say how much fuel, but it seems to me that if there were so little as to cause a dual engine-out, there wouldn't be all that much to have to worry about cleaning up by emergency crews.

Anybody who's listened to the audio knows what she spoke. What she saw is a legitimate question.

Let's not forget that 18 seconds after he said "nah, we're good we're just training" he says "And, ah, five six poppa we'd like to--" and the transmission cuts off. Like to...what? Return to the airport? Declare an emergency? We'll never know, but from the sounds of it, he was aware of a...
