3 confirmed deceased :(

If what I've heard they were doing is confirmed, this can't be considered an accident. More like a probability. I hope what I was told is wrong.
|
What were you told?
|
Hard to fathom that anyone would be flying VFR in that... God I'd hope not.
|
I'm not saying here due to the media trolls. Are you one?
But for the record and feel free to print this.. I believe the gyroscope got stuck in the pitot tube and precession caused the latitude nut to spill into the empennage. |
Apparently was a six seater, looking for a fourth person..
there was a witness within 1km in a boat that witnessed it (apparently) R.I.P |
No I'm not a troll, I actually hold a frozen ATPL...(missed by 100hrs) f'ing Part 61. That should be enough proof for you.
BTW that's an interesting place to put a gyro!!! Must be a small one. |
Where did you acquire a Frozen ATPL? I can't find that category of licence under part 61 or the previous business model.

Hard to fathom that anyone would be flying VFR in that... God I'd hope not. |
old industry speak for having passed all the ATPL subjects but not having the required hours to be given a full ATPL
|
Really
Really, we are going to argue about this when people have died. GROW UP!
|
You haven't been around long if you haven't heard of a frozen ATPL ! :ugh:
|
So, you hold a PPL or CPL with passes in ATPL theory?
There is no such thing as a "frozen ATPL" in Australia (except on a few training websites flogging the idea). It might be 'old industry speak' in the USA, but has no meaning here :) |
FFS this is why I very rarely come on here anymore. If you don't know what a frozen ATPL is I'm not going to waste time on you.
