Low powered microlight?
power to weight ratio and climb rate of just about any micro would be as good as any cherokee? I stand to be corrected.
A microlight could land on a field just about anywhere but a pa28? not so sure.
anyway looking at the weather and where the flight was headed I would not have attempted this flight. Not a chance, certainly more chance of putting down a microlight somewhere if weather gets bad.
Very sad..
as was the other incident over the water today.
