Financial success and a beautiful wife doesn't make a an intelligent pilot.

Not sure why flying is allowed, so many crashes

I'm a truck driver. I am not an airplane pilot. But i suppose i can buy a small plane, load my beloved family up and go look for the worst weather in the country, and go ahead and fly right on to it. I guess that would make me a kamikaze

Unbelievable! 15 minutes after takeoff, the plane iced up and crashed! WOW!! 😮

Hear it time and time again on these channels when VFR pilots fly in IFR conditions.

My God! How horrible for his family and, if he was cognizant, the husband/father and pilot, his realization that his poor decisions killed his precious family.😢

PC-12 and Tocatas are just death sticks for the rich, overconfident, low hour, overly risk-tolerant, and largely rule-averse male flyer.

The pilot was thinking, "I'm rich, therefore invincible, and all souls are safe with ME!"

As a 135 nite freight pilot,i always flewbad weather passing or land short n wait.late many times,but alive.have to just say no! Mans has to know his limitations!. And our co.seemed to loose a few pilots every year; but no one ever cared..small planes n ice never mixed...

I think the animation of the inside of the cockpit is insensitive.

Couple notes. You don't "just" go up over 18,000 feet as that is Class A airspace where you need the instrument clearance (I suppose he would have just accepted it as we saw later) and mention about oxygen could use expansion. FAA requires it for the pilot after 30 minutes between 12,500 and 14,000 feet and all the time above 14,000 feet; then being "offered" to everyone over 15,000 feet. Based on how much the pilot ignored rules I wonder if he even used oxygen at all and his worsening decision making and flying abilities may have been influenced by hypoxia? Btw, the armed forces use better criteria and require oxygen at over 10,000 feet, and that is for really fit young pilots. I go with that, using oxygen on every flight over 10,000 feet and at night where it increases visual acuity. It is super cheap for the benefits. About go/no-go decisions, my family fully accepts when I say we can't go, and they support that decision. I benefit from some really good training and the knowledge that my plane and mother nature are out to kill me so I have to stack the odds in my favor. It also helps being part of an aviation community where safety is emphasized.

Low time with no weather experience! Can't watch cos it pisses me off.unsatisfactory!

I'm not a pilot but I realize you can't bank a plane beyond a certain angle, especially in high elevations, c'mon sense, keep wings level and monitor speed, if I flew, I would never bank beyond a very slight angle, ever. RIP

the trip was 130 miles??? by the time you drive to the airport, get all set and ready to fly, land at another airport and rent a car to drive to the game, you could easily have driven the 130 miles, no?

Why even bother with the “mayday” at this point

2:37 That's one sucky job. Standing out in a field while being rained on by insecticides and fertilizers.

I would like to see an episode of the crash of N661TC. it was an air ambulance carrying for people that crashed in the redwoods of Northern California, and nobody was held responsible yet !!!!! I believe the crash was due to incompetent maintenance personnel !!! But like I said the blame has put been put on no one!

The TBM is very confidence inspiring. Similar to a King Air but with one engine and no potty.

That isn't a TBM 700 with that wonderful side door. That's a later model.

People need to know when to land their plane.

2-4-8-16…..that is how bad decisions escalate in weather…..just land---and live to tell about it. RIP

Big shot thought he could do anything.

Should have stayed down at 3000 longer till clear of ice should have run inereact to keep turbine clean of induced ice

Ridiculous

GREED

It wouldn't have mattered if he was an instrument master. You don't fly a small plane where there may be icing anywhere close.

It was also a warm evening.

Now he’s dead.

Captain's pay is for the "No" decision.

Live life to the max before it's snatched away from you!

Don't be embarrassed to ask for an airport surveillance radar approach. They basically talk you down every step of the way, and in this case it would have made this a piece of cake.😊 it's not just for student pilots. It's for anyone who needs it, and this person did need it. If the glide s**** was the least bit questionable, then that's what he should have asked for. There would have been an inopflag on the glide s**** At the same time, localizer would be usable That would back up the asr approach information.😢

DEI?

So sad when rich people die.

Note to self: avoid small aircraft at all costs.

My late father-in-law flew P-38 Lightning’s in WWII, and described this very same “graveyard spiral” when JFK Jr lost control and crashed in the 1990’s. He recalled, “I once almost lost a wing man that way”. A great guy with fascinating stories. I never flew a plane but I feel like I did 😄

i was 700 hours in, and figured out, im just not good enough to be a passenger pilot, now im a happy passenger in 747's😂😂

It took the NTSB almost 2 1/2 yrs to reach that conclusion?

My only criticism is your description of the pilots as capable and experienced. In reality their experience in terms of hours pales in comparison to many pilots. And the crash report clearly points out the kinds of mistakes made by pilots who are not capable and experienced.

Get there ites strikes again VFR into IFR / RIP

I'll drive, or better yet take the train.

C’mon kids..don’t worry you won’t free fall 13,000 feet one the plane breaks up in flight..good lord this is beyond horrifying..this is so troubling,I had not realized I have already commented..

Was obviously a fatal…what?? There was red paste on tree trunks..that all there was….😅

Why did he not land immediately when weather went down dumper…😢

The sadness here is that he was once a loving husband. Now his wife is without his good side. Not her fault, but she had seen his good side and was willing to work to promote that.

i gave up flying after getting my license because i kept having this nightmare.

how can you not just say to your ego that you need to get out of this and forget getting to your destination..

When u think u know how to fly.....then u crash and burn

Go fever .My wife gets go fever every cross-country trip.

No one is “forced to fly” You chose to fly

This reminded me of a poor decision with weather, friends & flying. Early 90s in college, me & two flight student friends, went to the CAF Airshow in Harlingen, Texas from San Antonio in the school's Piper Arrow, about a 3-hour flight. S.A. & Harlingen weather is clear. The problem was thick fog just south of S.A. to 20 miles north of Harlingen, from ground level to 50-100 feet, visibility in fog less than 1/4 mile! Route is clear, fog forecast to burn off, but if we wait, we can't get into the Harlingen airport since it's closing at 11:00 for the airshow. I had "getthereitis," and left. I think I was at 10,500 ft & it was weird flying over a solid fog layer with _no_ view of the ground for almost 3 hours. I was _very_ nervous & aware that if the engine quit, I would land blind. Approaching Harlingen, the fog ended as forecast, about 20 miles north of the city. We had a wonderful time, but my desire to get somewhere put 3 lives at risk while flying.
