NOW HOLD ON A SECOND
Some have attacked the posts by an up and coming (in training) pilot called cirrus falcon.
I've been around for quite awhile and when I FIRST heard the EARLY reports, the building was described as an FAA Flight Safety District OFFICE and not a FLIGHT SAFETY SIM CENTER>
I recalled the pilot who crashed his airplane deliberately into a US Treasury/IRS building as a protest on taxes and I had passing thought that someone MIGHT, KEY WORD MIGHT, have been angry at the FAA for something.
SUBSEQUENT reports had me change my mind.
BUT there are some good questions here, and I mentioned earlier that one computer graphic SHOWED THE WHEELS STILL DOWN and the LEFT PROP FEATHERED>
YOU need to get the GEAR UP in just about any twin if you lose an engine in order to get it to climb.
DOES ANYONE know if the gear was found, up or down, in the debris?
IN the grand scheme of all turboprops, the KING AIR is not really that tough to fly. Tough to fly well perhaps!
SO dear CIRRUS FALCON I hope you ignore the posts of some on this thread. BUT let us all wait to find out a few more facts.
AND if anyone has some new facts, please post them!
POSITIVE RATE< GEAR UP!
