Flying very low at night using a landing light to illuminate the ground is a great shot.
Not legal though.

Maybe the 60 knot impact speed is of significance so some of the suggestions here.

Impact speed isn't mentioned in the prelim report.It was logged at 66 knots quite some distance from the impact site.

Good call, didn't read in enough detail.

What I did note was that it was potentially the first night departure for the mission to date.

It was probably too dark to register the glow of the set sun to the East
mickjoebill, I think you need to get your directions right buddy - it sets in the WEST last time I looked!
