Probable Cause: The pilot’s improper decision to delay turning toward a suitable runway once he realized that an engine failure had occurred, which resulted in his having inadequate altitude to glide to a suitable runway, and the New York terminal radar approach control LaGuardia Airport area controller’s provision of erroneous emergency divert airport information to the pilot. Contributing to the accident were (1) the Federal Aviation Administration’s lack of a requirement to periodically review and validate radar video maps, (2) the failure of the engine crankshaft due to a bearing shift, and (3) the pilot’s impairment due to his abuse of amphetamine and underlying medical condition(s).
Military pilots use amphetamines to improve performance, so it's ironic for the FAA to say he was impaired by it. He was impaired by a broken engine and wrong directions
@smark1180 I'm in the air force and I work with pilots daily. This is actually true. It's to help improve reaction times and awareness in combat. It's a bit funny when flying gets canceled/delayed, watching them have the jitters and get hyper active after taking it.
@@smark1180it's not to improve performance persay, but it's call the go/nogo program, they use somthing called "go pills" to keep them alert on long missions (6-10 hours in come cases, single pilot high performance aircraft). You can google go pills, they are approved for aircrew and AFSOC personnel. But they are also specifically trained on their affects and know how their bodies react to the amphetamine from a medical perspective
Reading on wiki a controller vectored a Hawker to the same closed field after an engine failure in 2015. The attempt to land was fatal. Ten years later and another controller does the same. Who's really at fault for sending a pilot to the same "field" which has been closed to aviation for 35 years???
It would be great if you made these a bit longer include the NTSB findings and your own opinions on what happened i love the videos just wish they were longer and more comprehensive. ❤️
Tragic all around, but around Bethpage, there are several areas you can land at, a large bike parking lot, a golf course, long straight highways, etc. The controller should have immediately directed him nearly straight southbound heading at 170. That was obviously the closest airport with most options to land along the route. He probably was looking for an actual airport with a runway, and it doesn't exist anymore at Bethpage. I would personally find a long flat area as soon as I had an engine issue, and then keep jumping between potential landing areas while heading southbound towards an airport, if the engine is still limping along. The Bonanza C35 glide ratio is around 10:1, so at 6000 feet, you should be able to glide around 10 miles, if he would have turned southbound as soon as the engine had issues before Huntington Station, he was only about 8 miles away from Republic Airport. Situational awareness is key. Always know where you are at and where the nearest airports are at, and always scout for some fields to land at on your way if needed.

@TheGeocacheHunter You "work with the Air Force", doing what? Certainly not in the medical field.

Do we really need the dramatic music?
You must be new
Yes
No.
Negatory
Affirmative, adds to the fun of death
Bailed at 26 seconds….. ditch that music 👎
ATC sounds like He is on drugs much more than the actual pilot so...

That's a trainwreck of an attempted sentence at 3:00. Sheesh! Need a proofreader? I work cheap.
Why don't you go back to your channel and do whatever you do there?
Did he die?
What do you not understand about the phrase 'fatal crash'?
Whoops, missed that in the title.
@@SRPM-yk9xwactually I’m too stupid to know what the word fatal means. Thanks for assuming I’m retarded. Retard.
Fatal crash doesn't always mean the pilot is the one that dies. Could have been someone on the ground.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_Bethpage_Airport This is the closed airport.
