Nothing obvious; there's a self-storage facility and industrial park under the departure path, and no NOTAMs for cranes or other obstacles during that time. Looks like he impacted in a clearing north of a FedEx Ground facility. Somewhat oddly, APA Tower feeds on LiveATC give no apparent...

I stand corrected.

My apologies to "cj maitland" if their intentions are true, but I suspect spamming as well. I've looked pretty hard for the RDU Tower audio and haven't found anything definitive.

The pilot radioed the emergency to Fayetteville Approach, which would have been while en route to RDU. No communications with RDU Tower have been released to my knowledge, and LiveATC does not have any files for that time period.

Prelim released yesterday: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/105488/pdf Witnesses to the crash reported "the helicopter flew past their location westbound, then rapidly descended without making any turns. A large plume of dust occurred when the...

Aerostar 600, maybe?

ASIAS reports right main gear failure on landing, with no injuries and "minor" damage. Sure hope that's the case... https://www.asias.faa.gov/apex/f?p=100:96:10026798142921

To clarify, N97CX was a 1997 PA46 Malibu Mirage that was later converted to a PT6-powered JetProp DLX.

I certainly didn't intend to imply the controller was in any way at fault (and I can understand how this is a personal subject for you) but rather to note there's a fairly common instruction tower controllers frequently use to 'control over when someone actually turns base.' Based on the...

"Piper XXX, extend downwind, I'll call your base." Happens all the time at my airport and FWIW I have yet to hear a single pilot argue over it.

I saw. Identities have been released, and BCSO reports the accident occurred at 7:20 pm Saturday evening. Not sure of the exact conditions at the time but late afternoon/early evening monsoonal thunderstorms have been common throughout the area for the past couple of weeks.

Very sad. N911SZ was a familiar sight (and sound) over Albuquerque's North Valley every Spring when BCSO would practice bucket ops in the Rio Grande and North Diversion Channel.

The image looks like it could be a V-tail Bonanza.

To your last sentence, I'd suggest most are trying to deaden themselves without actually dying. That is something different.

Per LiveATC communications, the pilot reported an engine failure approximately four miles south of the airport and, after turning back toward the airport, said he was going to try to land in a field. His last communication soon after was, "I am on fire ... please send rescue." The crash site is...

Definitely an "arrival" but holy cow, it looks at least as good as my first-ever landing (and probably better, if he held the centerline!)

AVweb posted the emergency revocation order, obtained via FOIA request. https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/faa-revokes-certificate-of-youtuber-who-crashed-plane/

Looks like it had it. https://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/photo/001311391.html

A fair chance, I think, given the C208's history with ice. The accident aircraft was a 2013 model and would've been equipped with TKS.

And it sounds like she walked one hell of a path toward what she hoped would a bright future in the sky. It genuinely hurts to read/watch this, especially the update at the end. https://www.maryrigg.org/cinnamons-success-story/
