thanks for telling us about the cj annuciator.
who knows, there might be a bizare situation in cj's that wouldn't show a failure?
I remember on jet I flew, you could get the annuciator light to go out but the pitot wasn't heated.
I tend to agree that owner operators are just a fancy term for doctor/bonanza pilots.
I do want to know what brought this lady and her child down. Sadly, my first feeling is pilot error. And if you have time to radio for help,crash the plane, then you didn't fly the plane first.
