    Savannah GA - Cessna Skymaster crash 1 dead

    It looks to me like something happened while maneuvering for landing at KSAV and last minute they turned towards KSVN - possibly trying to align with one of the NE/SW direction streets near KSVN.

    Seminole off airport landing Shakopee

    My thoughts too. Also based on ColinD's comment sounds like the airplane wasn't investigated at the scene.

    Voepass Flight 2283, a large passenger plane, crashes in Vinhedo, Brazil

    ATR-72's rarely cruise higher than FL200, so Juan Browne is correct that they tend to spend a lot more time in the icing zone. Just because their published ceiling is FL250 doesn't mean they can practically cruise at that, especially one that was close to fully loaded like this.

    Looks like a J MacFadden in Sharon Springs NY bought it.

    Voepass Flight 2283, a large passenger plane, crashes in Vinhedo, Brazil

    SD in the clouds? Tail icing? The videos all start after it's out of clouds but could have started earlier.

    Boeing’s on a streak...

    I worked at Rockwell Collins during Kelly's tenure and he was very well liked as a CEO. He would often make appearances out of the floor and try to get to know people. Overall a good guy. I feel a little bad, like he is risking his reputation going over to Boeing. He is certainly a good person...

    Student Pilot down KLHV

    Same situation for me. After my 2nd or 3rd solo I was allowed to fly solo anytime as long as I briefed weather with instructor. I had 2 airports I was allowed to go to - a nearby Class D for tower practice, and a small uncontrolled field about 3200x75. Both were about 20nm away. Home field was...

    RV-12 Fatal Crash - Control Failure 6/6 Auburn, WA

    Based on the photos it looks like the other side had started to loosen up as well.

    Dan Gryder Lockheed Electra Crash

    That's the same accident where he stole the red light from the smokestack, then when police/NTSB called him out for it he claimed it was a hoax. So either he lied to his followers or he lied to the police.

    Dan Gryder Lockheed Electra Crash

    I agree, pretty certain I can see it swiveling side to side as the aircraft passes by. Based on Dan's comment's on FB it seems he acknowledged they didn't lock the wheel. But I admit his comments are open to interpretation.

    Dan Gryder Lockheed Electra Crash

    Anyone know exactly where on the airfield the hangar and tree are? I was looking at Google Earth and it wasn't obvious to me.

    Small Plane Crash @ 89CA (Halter Ranch)

    Could the 3rd passenger of been a lap child? I can't imagine 3 adults fitting in an Alpha but I've seen crazier things.

    Is it just me?

    Probably like many things, social media and 24 hour news cycle making it seem like things are happening at a statistically higher rate than in the past.

    Hearing Mayday Call

    Looks like about a 35 mile stretch across water, on a ~330 mile trip (assuming he was going to back to Zephyrhills). What bad timing to have engine issues.

    Multiple Recent ATC Errors...Why?

    Sorry, Root Cause Correction Action. A problem solving methodology to thoroughly dig into a problem, find the root cause, and fix it. Thanks Baked Potato!

    Multiple Recent ATC Errors...Why?

    Unless someone has actual data or first hand knowledge, yelling "DEI" is just a cop out for not wanting to do actual RCCA (in my opinion).

    Piper Dakota Down in Muncie

    Not sure if this aircraft has been sitting a while but I have an enterprise level account on Flightaware, and it only shows me 2 historical flights (3/29/24 and 4/1/24). Normally I can go back > 6 months on past flights.

    Boeing’s many problems

    Wasn't the MCAS back in like 2018, and they were charged in 2021?

    Small plane lands on Long Island’s Southern State Parkway

    I suspect a transponder / ADS-B out issue. If you look at the track logs there is missing data in a lot of entries, also momentary spikes in speed that are not really possible.
