Having listened to the ATC transmissions, first overriding impression is of the professionalism of the ATC controller. As for aural sounds from the cockpit, I picked up GPWS "Terrain" warnings , hardly surprising and from another source I understand the repeating chime is a low fuel warning, again hardly surprising .
Looking at his final "arrival" point, Ketron, the island lies North South and appears to have a clear grass patch in the upper ( Northern ) end. I wonder if "Rich" was trying for a landing on this deserted patch ?
The flying was quite amazing for someone who supposedly had never flown and I'm guessing he had some home computer time on the -400.
Very sad what a tormented mind can drive a person to do. RIP Rich.
