Gents:
I began a thread this morning on the crash, in the forum for private flying, as that is where I suspected such a thread belongs.
My question remains, based upon a service ceiling of 30k, the report being that the plane appeared to run into trouble at 26k, and my assumption (possibly in error) is that the aircraft has a pressurized cabin type:
Would a loss if pressurization lead to quick incapacitation of the pilot and perhaps a spiral / dive/ death spiral, with break up happening well into the dive due to speed being exceeded?
That's where my brain went first, as I have no sense of what autopilot features this aircraft typically carries.
Now that I see what you all are seeing, perhaps flying into bad weather is a more Occam's Razor explanation.
Sad story.
