I have to agree, that was my thoughts when I heard the age of the pilot. The sudden 1660 ft per min decent kind of suggests he possibly became Incapacitated or even unconscious, if this is proven to be the case, then hopefully he was unconscious before impacting the water. RIP
I'm 71 yrs old and no longer have any desire to fly solo, I usually fly with my wife who is 70, but the chances of us both becoming incapacitated at the same time is pretty remote.
