That changes a lot of the debate and it circles back to the fact that the pilot was clearly at fault for embarking on this flight that night. So there we have it, pilot error is the ultimate conclusion. But really we knew that at the outset really, like almost all crashes in GA. It is outrageous that someone could, without the rating, even consider flying at night in bad weather regardless of other legalities of the charter aspects. I pity his family who I can only assume had no idea?
