    SR22 crash in Ohio 11-6-2014

    They go into depth on the scratch marks on the CAPS handle which doesn't mean anything to me because I'm not familiar with the airplane and how the handle works. With that said the evidence in the report to me says they pulled with the exception they couldn't find any rocket residue on the tail...

    SR22 crash in Ohio 11-6-2014

    The final report came out this last week. The cause of the accident was never really in doubt. Having lost a friend the question in my mind is did they pull the chute or not? The report is inconclusive and evidence points both ways. Fly safe everyone and don't let yourself get in a situation...

    Fatal ICON A5 crash

    I may be wrong but the wires could be there because emergency crews needed to stabilize the wreck and keep it from falling into the water. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What is considered "cross country"?

    When I was working on hours for my Commercial rating a lot of my cross countries were to a private strip because my girlfriend lived right across the road. It was awesome until I went for my checkride and the DPE measured it...49.5 miles. He sent me home because I was something like 20 cross...

    Video SR22 shooting approaches in fog, icing and heavy snow.

    Good point. You are correct they were not identical. I still think he's taking a lot of risk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Video SR22 shooting approaches in fog, icing and heavy snow.

    Probable cause isn't out yet but I'm fairly certain ice took the life of a friend of mine in a similar flight and identical aircraft. Guy is playing with fire IMO. https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20141107X75136&AKey=1&RType=Factual&IType=FA Sent from my...

    interesting case of a potential HIMS alcohol/sub abuse relapse

    Perhaps if you had a loved one killed or seriously injured by a drunk driver you would have a different perspective. Wonder how high this guy tested? http://www.kob.com/new-mexico-news/helicopter-struck-by-suspected-drunk-driver-near-gallup-hw-566-dui/4299092/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    When was your first scare?

    Around 60 hours. Practicing night touch and goes. Decided to turn the baseball game on the ADF. Wasn't paying attention and got blown off to the side of the runway. Go around. Instead of raising flaps one notch at a time I raised them all at once. Almost settled into the runway lights.
