So, hypoxia is out but the cord can be pulled at 500 ft? Any thoughts?

That is a frightening visual.
Terrible if true.

Damn. That's hundreds of miles past it's course. Must be a case of Hypoxia.

They have oxygen.
You can fly in the lower flight levels in one.
Anything over 14k you need oxygen.

How is hypoxia out? It's the most likely scenario especially with the cold temps.
Cord can be pulled anytime. It is a gas charged system that has to be repacked every 10 years. I wouldn't recommend it at 200kts though. That's how fast it was traveling.

I'm just getting bits and pieces of this, nothing confirmed so I'm not going to put anything here based on speculation or second/third hand information.

That plane isn't normally flown at high altitudes, right? Like 7k-9k?
Posted on 1/3/18 at 8:39 pm to Janky
The filed altitude was 19k.
Not sure what that counts for

Exactly. If you replay the track from the OP's link, it was cruising at 18,900asl. That's the first thing I noticed unusual.

The Coast Guard is sending out an aircraft to search the waters off Freeport, Texas, which is due south of Houston.
The plane is registered to Abide Aviation out of Edmond.

Not trying to be morbid or belittle what is a tragedy in any manner, but is suicide in this matter a common thing?
I don't follow such things to know if this is an absurd question.

FlightAware had it at 23S 90W at 7:05 pm, which is northwest of Cancun. Also showed a SE course with 2 or 3 slight changes. Did they just assume based on speed and bearing or was there data backing it up?

18.9 isn't common in this craft is it? I have never seen that.

Pilot is purported to be a 69 yr old Physician from Edmond, OK. The plane was relatively new (2016 model).
