Even on our IPads we can see terrain. I'm thinking maybe a mechanical issue. And the speed on impact raises concerns. A combination of get their itis and weather = challenge. In hindsight, IFR into CMA and a 20 minute UBER were the right answer

The high speed is puzzling. Mechanical malfunction?

The pilot may have been talking to Point Mugu approach but I can't find their frequency on LiveATC.

Scud running the coast is common from SMO up to Point Mugu. Looks like that is what they were doing then tried to pop over around the county line beach area?

I like watching helicopters from the ground. Never liked riding in them

I disagree in that the 3rd Class Medical is more comprehensive than the one my physician conducts yearly. Not even close. But there may be a percentage of pilots who will go to a Dr every 4 years. I think most taking benefit of BM are older, and as such, have a physical completed yearly

We meed to see some more data relative to the rates for those with III Class Medicals and those with Basic Med. I would gladly pay an AME $100 every 2 years for a 3rd class if it will save me from having my rates doubled under Basic Med. Need to run a CBA on this lol..

Insurance companies are their own worst enemies. I know of an older champ that ground looped. They totaled it and paid him the 3x what its worth because that’s what he had it insured for. Another cost benefit analysis fAiL

I just did a quote on Avemco to test the waters. I have Travers as my broker. They let me know my carrier (Elevon- Allianz) for last 3 years is not renewing any aviation policies. Avemco quoted me double what I pay now. But, they were a little higher when I looked at them after buying the plane...

Me and the wife went over to the Brass Lantern in Lawrenceburg TN yesterday celebrating 40 years ago I joined the NAVY. Nice 17 KT crosswind gust at both places. Good times. Posted some videos Teri took going into 2M2 and KHZD.

Pics from mid 90’s. 3 mile final USS Abraham Lincoln lol. Ship was anchored off Santa Barbara for the public to tour. Other is crosswind to join R downwind RWY-4 Santa Paula KSZP

Sugar Tree TN I-40 bridge over the mighty TN River. Other pic was a fly over at home plate verifying I left my hangar door open. :cool:

Sim engine out work at the home field KHZD

I’m concerned about the differential

The engine runs fine on both while in cruise. My left mag on the 0320-E2A (no engine monitor) checks out during ground mag checks and is within tolerance (barely) with the right mag. But while conducting an inflight ROP mag check 2450 RPM at 2500', the left mag had a 200 RPM drop vs a 50 RPM...

UPS only makes right turns?

I was at a fly in over in Springfield TN last year. Most the tables were full, but there was a table with just one person sitting there. I walked up and asked if he minded if I joined him. We hit it off, said his name was 'Dave'. But it was Billy Bob Thornton. We had a great conversation and he...

Been there done that... with a 13 year hiatus in between I came home one day in Oct 2004 and put my flight bag in the closet and didn't look back for 14 years. I retired in July 2016 and started flying again in 2017, bought a VFR Cherokee in 2018 and 150 hours later it still fits the bill. Like...
