The student was working on a commercial instrument rating so the instructor was instrument rated and was obviously an CFIi, an instrument instructor as well, so the low clouds and the lake should not have been an issue for her at all.

Unless they are doing a military mission, there is no reason for the B2 to turn off their transponder, so to stop the TCAS systems they each have to stop providing collision avoidance!

Unless he’s already making over $191,000, he won’t pay 30% on all that money

My response was directed at the jackleg that commented that airline transport aircraft are automated and pilots don’t do anything and don’t deserve that raise.

Skywest and Ryanair have good safety records but they both combined don’t produce nowhere near the revenue that United does.

I’ve read two other articles about the crash, and it was the driver that was killed

It reads like someone not familiar with aviation is trying to write an article they knew nothing about. It references articles from 2020. The FAA will publish a final accident report with a cause/probable cause, and that’s what matters. My guess is an engine failed after take off, and an unfeathered prop after an engine failure caused a ton of drag along with pilot error causing the crash. We’ll see

I heard the water was almost to the railroad tracks, so 15 - 20 feet of water

You’re wrong, do your research before you state false facts. Apnea is not dependent on weight or snoring.

Really? Giving some unhealthy old fart another couple years is worth many thousands of pilots, mechanics, flight attendants and many more people losing their jobs, their careers, and not being able to provide for their family? There will be no jobs available to these people, and Delta is just the first. It will be hundreds of thousands of people. This stay at home crap is not going to reduce the number of people who die from Covid, it is just going to change the date that they die from it.

As a longtime pilot, my best guess is an engine failure shortly after takeoff. Just because someone thought they heard both engines running, it was probably just one engine at full power. That 40 year old Cheyenne did not have autofeather which can be a lifesaver and would automatically turn the big prop blades the Cheyenne had into the wind after an engine failure to tremendously reduce drag. If the pilot did not feather the correct prop very quickly after the engine failed on his own and then with all the drag of a spinning dead prop, and the other good engine at full power and the pilot then let it get slow, a thing called VMC takes over and will roll a plane over on its back and at that altitude your done.

Did you get any good feedback about the pavers? I’m thinking of using
Firerock pavers also. Who is the pool builder that doesn’t like them?
