Actually I was wondering how much time those folks in that airplane had to get square with their maker, since it was obvious they were about to meet Him shortly.
A lesson for all of us (including you) be nice.
Good evening.
....Elvis has left the building!!

Given everything I’ve read the pilot was more than qualified and well trained.
I think his actions in a time of utmost urgency was remarkable.
It seems that he had the awareness to try to land that disabled plane in the safest location possible. He did manage to miss a residential area, Walmart and Post Office.’
Tragically he wasn’t able to do so. As hard it for the families mourning for their loved ones, I think he should be acknowledged for his heroic actions.
Praying for the families that lost loved ones and a speedy recovery for those injured.

This guy is very knowledgeable on plane crashes. Just released a preliminary video.
ETA: Seems he got a little off track w/ the Stability Aug System but the beginning of the video is informative.

Very informative. Wow! IFR's in effect, loaded airplane, extremely low visability. In particular I found his comment about Biggs being the lone pilot dealing with a very demanding situation, I found that interesting. Plus his description using the example of a golf ball to describe spatial disorientation was informative. Scary.
That brave pilot fought to regain control of that aircraft, but I'm thinking he just didn't have the benefit of enough altitude to complete corrective action. That airplane really needed a co-pilot to help manage a very risky take-off.
I've been a passenger on small airplanes before. Never liked flying in those crates. But the safest small airplane I ever flew in? Not even close.........deHavilland Beaver.
That is all.

From that guy's description, it sounds similar to what happened to that Brazilian wedding party aboard the helicopter.

I see the problem there immediately, pilot only has three stripes

Yeah, you know he doesn’t have any good stories about how much money he made last year or buying a second boat.

spatial disorientation
Not buying it yet. A pilot with a Commercial rating having spatial disorientation problems in IMC has no business at the controls of a C172, much less a high performance twin. Fly the airplane, not your instincts. Avionics failure is rare. Too many mechanical problems to rule out. A wind milling prop, a reversing prop, rudder failure, structural failure. Not to mention an incapacitated pilot. We may never know.

9.8 meters per second

task overloading, startle factor, experience, lots of things to consider

So around 20 mph?
Posted on 12/31/19 at 1:45 pm to tgrbaitn08
If there’s no propulsion, terminal velocity is the max

I’m not familiar with this aircraft, but anytime I hear complete loss of thrust, I immediately think of a fuel issue.

13.84 is not the correct answer

There is no shortage of NTSB accident reports where a multi thousand hour pilot with commercial or even ATP rating got distracted on takeoff, and failed to maintain control of the plane.
