Also, one wonders what sort of defect/distraction could contribute to, or cause, this accident. Just how much skill does it take to land an entry-level jet in VMC conditions?
Another tragic entry-level fatal. RIP gentlemen.
Wonder no-longer. The pilot was on a variety of drugs, and a capsule containing blue powder was found containing more of the same. Amphetamine, methlone, THC, various boner drugs, a sleeping pill. Those are what I recall of the top of my head. (I read the file earlier today and came across this thread when - on a whim - I decided to search for any additional info I could find. The toxicology report is in the NTSB accident docket.
