Folks.....don't get ahead of the facts in your comments.
Do not take for gospel. what you are reading in the media and for sure not here at Rotor Heads when you address this particular tragedy.
As in everyone of these events....it takes a long time for the actual facts and data to be ascertained and published.
If you are going to pontificate at least take the time to carefully consider separating the wheat from the chaff in that regard.
Until you know without any doubt whatsoever the accuracy of the information you are basing your opinion upon....remember you are just speculating, supposing, surmising, or just plain flat assed guessing as to what happened.
Discussing this is fine but be reasonable in how you go about it....some of you seem to skip off into fantasy land without giving scant consideration to the known "facts" which are pretty thin at this time.
All of the information so far comes from sources outside the cockpit.....think about that for a bit.
No matter how much we learn....it will not be from inside the cockpit....we will never know what the Pilot could see, what he was experiencing, what he was thinking, and probably never know with certainty what he did during the final moments of that flight.
We can combine all of the known data and other evidence to begin to get a good idea but probably we will never really know.
Let's start with the latest road some of you are traveling.
What do you know for a fact about the Pilot's Instrument flying qualifications, training, experience, currency, and proficiency at the time of crash?
Lay it out and quote your source(s) for that information.
If You want to describe him as being incompetent.....PROVE IT!
Back up what you are saying.....do so with proven and ascertainable fact.....or amend your posts to note your opinion is pure speculation.
