Horrible accident

The FBI doesn’t normally purge arrest records that ended in some type of settlement and yes they get copies of arrest records from local and state police. There are plenty of companies that provide the service of submitting your finger prints to the FBI and getting your records emailed to you...

The female Malibu pilot’s name was Carol. We know this because as she was turning base someone acknowledged her. That may have cause her to lose concentration and miss her runway. Not making excuses for her sloppy work in the pattern.

I agree, he stalled the plane at low altitude and low speeds, lost it on the turn into a spin. I am speculating of course, but possibly he didn’t have altitude or speed due to his gear down on a hot day and could not climb. The Airplane is 180hp? Tragic and avoidable.

I am now thinking his alternator went out and didn’t have the amps for gears up. No word on communications which he would have lost with a dead alternator as well. I lost an alternator once in flight and in no time, I went dark.

All local and state arrest are reported to the FBI and I don’t think those arrest are purged if there is a conviction. Companies out there that specializes in federal background check.

Talking with a friend that works at KERV. The linesman saw the gear didn’t retract hence the low spending and low altitude on a very hot day. He turned around and flew over the run way to land the way he took off. This indicates to me it was not an emergency else he lands with the wind. He...

Looks like he tried to do the impossible turn, 2 died yesterday afternoon. Heard the plane was in the shop for quite a time, Flight aware shows him taking off KERV and turning around, didn’t make it. I looked up the tail number by looking at Mooney flights out of KERV yesterday around 6pm...

He should have made haste for the River.

I met the pilot a couple of months ago, he flew into our airport in that very plane. He was the guy my instructor used to stay current in jets. He held a master degree in aeronautical engineering, a top gun rating in the Airforce in the mid 90s, I think in the F4, not sure. I did read his...

Have your own minimums greater than published is a good rule of thumb. IMC is stressful, don’t add choppy weather that flashes or freezes.

I have a Stec 55x and he is correct on the porpoising without warning. I found the best way to avoid this is slow the plane down and dirty the plane up with the gear a couple of miles before U get to the IAF, letting the autopilot stay caught up. Once it captures the glide slope, normally nails...

I did my 30th Angel Flight this week over the last 24 months thanks to Dr. B.

If you got fingerprinted when charged, the FBI has a copy.

Dr. Bruce: 1C5 Flies a twin Seneca He is your best shot at this, miracle man.

So you telling me my Blue Bell Chocolate ice cream can stay on the list.

Heading home

Just did an inspection on a Silver Eagle, not this one. It had 3 seats and a bench seat in the back. The fuselage fuel tank drains into the mains and it is recommended to drain off the fuselage tank thru the mains first. Also has a small reserve under the feet of the pilot and copilot from the...

OP 10 years will fly by in a LS! Be patient and endeavor to persevere.

Baffling was my issue with high engine oil temp.
