"About two-thirds of the fatal crashes occurred in poor visibility." Says it all.
A case in point. I was watching Air Crash Investigation last night. About a 707 running out of fuel in New York on ILS finals. In the hold for too long as very poor WX, blizzard ect, all the jets missing out on the ILS and getting re-stacked. (Actual news footage now) At the crash scene shortly after the accident, at night, in a blizzard where jets are missing out on an ILS approach due vis, are Jet Rangers flying around. WTF????
THAT mentality is why you guys have so many EMS acccidents.
