Well then I stand corrected that a pilot with a single pilot waiver(4050)has actualy augered one in and died on the scene. Incapacitation I gather rather then incompetence.
I gather this is another one of those owner pilot episodes or was this a paid pilot hired by the company to fly the plane?
The distinction might be small, but I think relevent given that the Mustangs and VLjs are being marketed to the owner pilots.
I may have heard it before this accident, but I've always heard it spoken as such: "no professional (full-time pilot) pilot with an ATP and 4050 exemption has ever caused a fatality" or something to that effect. Whether it is still true or not, the safety record is STILL very good. Yes, I do think there is a distinction...and at times it's no small one for sure.
