I am still amazed that people don't use the performance of a flying-machine to climb above inclement weather. It seems so logical to use the 3 rd dimension to avoid interaction with Terra Firma.
(no, I'm not a pilot, but have some experience of light aircraft.....this was not a low-performance Microlight.
Cockney Steve: This being a public forum of course you have every right to comment.
The wisdom of doing so is another matter.
But there are so many variables that we should all wait for the AAIB report as the team making the report , unlike you, will probably contain a pilot and will investigate whether , for example, the crash a/c pilots were IMC qualified and did indeed attempt to climb above the weather only to be brought down by ice:
There are many tragic possibilities.
Nobody knows: leave it to the experts.
