Wow what a flight crew

A safety pin on a parachute.. I guess it's necessary but imagine you getting into your car and first having to remove the safety pin for the seat belts and prime the airbag system.. 😳 And imagine how easy it would be, even just with a piece of string, to make it possible to remove this pin from inside the aircraft. Sorry I might be missing something but this seems very silly to me this entire system..

Oh Shit, that's Santee!

Icing the call, Federov visits the box..

As an aeronautical non pilot , all this information tells me there should have never been a set of steam stacks anywhere near the runway given the dangers of it interfering with the landings of aircrafts . Am I wrong ?? Please tell me cause I just don’t know…

It will be my mission in my life to remember and honor your sons memory

PAT BROWN❤️

I’m so sorry for your loss my friend. I lost my son, who was also an aviator, but he took his own life. I fly 1000 plus hours a year, and am closest to him whenever I fly❤

Absolutely heart breaking... Thank you for not using the pilot's actual photos. Even the actual audio alone is crushing... RIP and may this be a lesson for other pilots.

Tail plane ice is certainly a possibility. Although, the King air is equipped with a de-ice system (pneumatic boots on wings and horizontal stabilizer), it can only remove ice on the leading edges, and only after a significant amount of ice has built up, to insure effective removal. (I believe the manual recommends 1/2 inch). Mr. McSpadden's advice is sound. Additionally, if you fly in ice, consider hand flying and pay close attention to the yoke. If it starts getting "sloppy" in a forward and aft range, you may very well have ice on the tail. Increase your speed, declare an emergency, and get out of the ice as quickly as possible. Extra speed is your friend! Know your aircrafts manual.

This kinda looked suicidal the way i see it, either that or that pilot must of beer half drunk maybe, nothing about this flight seemed normal to me !

I think all pilots should be well educated on instrument flying before they even fly an airplane or get apilots license, whats wrong with learning all of this before flying ? I think it avoid a lot of crashes like this one and many others that crashed for that same reason,,,,they should learn instrument flying just as much as learning take offs and landings , mandintorialy i think , whats it gonna hurt ?

He doesn’t know how to prepare to fly, fly, follow instructions…etc. HES a goner.

This happened a block from my house, it took out our UPS driver he was supposed to retire that January. RIP

Thank you ASI.

Well this video is markedly different than blancolios' take on it. First lesson. the MDA is apparently given in sea-level altitude, it was 400ft agl. Second, this video actually shows the caravan trying to recover from well below the higher stacks, literally almost on the GEM plant roof flying up into the stacks to crash. Which is what I thought actually happened. And that makes even less sense than when it was first mentioned. She wasn't 50 feet or even 100 feet below MDL, she was almost on the ground.. But the thing also is that she came down below MDL because she came out of the clouds well before she got to the plant. She then flew into the plume. Why she flew into the plume is another question. But the plume led directly to the stack. She could have dropped below the plume and that would have pulled her into the bottom of the stack. She supposedly knew not to fly into the plume especially in conditions that were already icing especially at 90mph. I just don't get this. If she had VFR at least to the stacks, then why fly right into them? It's like she didn't know where the runway was, and stayed on the RNAV and either lost lift and sank too low or just rode it on down into the stacks. But the NAVIR(?) shows that the rnav is broken at the stacks. I can see how she might have gotten confused on this landing, but I don't see crashing into the stacks when you can see them right there. But yet again. I don't see taking chances on this landing when you haven't practiced it on a sim, at least.

For me, spatial disorientation is a very unsatisfying explanation to what we see in this video. The pilot was very experienced with incredible avionics and was clearly, according to the flight track shown, flying the flight using an autopilot. It seems to me that carbon monoxide poisoning is more likely than spatial disorientation.

renegades should not be flying lake renegades.

I’d go around and try again in 20 minutes. These controllers are insane

19:34 weather

@Steve-mg1cp "you haven't been around much if you're doubting anybody who says they have 12000+ hours." "flight into know icing" MSFS hours. @ScottsSynthStuff "It literally said (and repeats in the NTSB report) that the icing was unforecast, and that even if he had gotten updated weather, it wouldn't have reported the weather that he flew into" Roger that.

I live less than a mile from this crash site, it was a clear day that day. It was about 2 blocks from my son's school.

Roger that Airboss.ill fix it

IMC is dangerous and you really need to be properly trained before even attempting to fly into Even in best IMC conditions, throttling up or down can feel like you are ascending or descending, hench probably what happened in this pilots final few moments. RIP

Roger that

A low time ifr pilot has many experiences to become a seasoned ifr pilot. But there's no room for complacency or ego over

Jeju Air crash Dec 29, 2024 killed 179 people after skid landing which probably would have been ok except when it over ran the runway it rammed into a stupidly placed concrete wall. Now it seems that a pair of stupidly placed chimneys also contributed to a disaster.

I remember when this happened. San Diego...

Yay! It's Dan! So happy to see you linked up with AOPA...Dan is the BEST!

Famous last words "just going to play it by ear".....So sad.

Sad results sad

I'll never understand why Pilots fear embarrassment over the fear of losing their life instead by not declaring an emergency!!

Sorry but I hate some of the ATC voices that I hear I don't hear any concern I hear more of a nonchalant attitude it just upsets me so much. I don't know why they canceled his first clearance he wasn't that far off the localizer and the weather was s*** and he had told you he lost pumps so that meant he was in trouble and that ATC isn't smart enough to pick up on that to make sure that they get this guy landed or they don't come together as a core group and say Let's help to get this guy on the ground safely is simply maddening. Instead they just run him around in the fog until he crashes and dies!!!! Great job ATC!!

Spatial disorientation, it’s terrifying. I flew fixed wing in the 90’s and early 2000’s, now I fly for fun and have a Gyrocopter.

So basically he got a terrible weather report which was telling him that he should really just wait a day before he flies up there but instead he decides to go and that was his demise

I've seen and heard of this one and neither of these pilots were long for this world. Hearing the complete story is beyond baffling! Thankfully they had nobody on board. Word has it two guys drove instead of flying with these to fools?!

Nice job on this video. Just subbed.

Who scheduled these pilots? Copilot had a big ego and was clearly upset he was not the Captain. He had no respect for the Captain.

Those Hobby ATC guys killed that woman and her two passengers. I feel sick every time I hear this recording. Did no one teach this woman to use the word UNABLE?

Why don't get is why he didn't climb at 5000 even higher wherever his position was; it's safer than higher. Like boats are safer at high sea than closer to the shore.

Why file for FL27....it was just PHL-TEB🧐😬

He had a death wish, and nobody can talked him out of it

He passed out because he was tired and old.

Very shame, poor woman very shame very sad

Has anyone mentioned MANSPLAINING? This is gross!!! I wish she hadn't followed the instructions.

“Turn left heading 30 degrees” doesnt mean "turn left by 30 degrees" ...

Carbon monoxide poisoning?

He had decided before he even took off. Not _what he would do,_ but _what was going to happen:_ he was going to fly to his destination. All the rest follows; he was only asking for info from sources along the way as a matter of form. Not because he was going to use the information to make a go/no go decision.

A madmen bent on throwing heavily loaded dice.

The pilot passed out first. In and out of drowsiness.
