Question about the Kobe Bryant Crash

[SASless]

Vis,

While enroute the aircraft was delayed for about several minutes due to arriving IFR Traffic....memory serves me it was the Burbank Control Zone.

That in itself may not have been a factor that created the felt need to hurry that might have happened..

One key factor was the not slowing down as the deteriorating weather was encountered....no telling why that was (not slowing down).

The Operator had a written policy that embraced the "Slow Down, Go Down, Land out if necessary" instruction to its Pilots.....something the Pilot flying did not comply with....despite being the Chief Pilot.
