I think Pittsextra is making the point that it can (probably is) very quickly so complicated that the chance of a successful prosecution falls below the required 'proceed' threshold.

In a perfect...

It is also possible (probable?) that airline, ferry and military pilots having analysed and accepted the higher risk of their 'mission', will use their skills to then reduce those risks as much as...

FAA rules are wobbly prop, wobbly gear and flaps. It's a tad more detailed than that (!) but them's the basics.

So a Piper Arrow is complex.

If they recover the GPS it should answer a bunch of questions as it will have been recording position (every second, or even more?) until being submerged.

And the odds are that the data is okay.

I do hope the same amount of (publicly funded) effort goes into finding and recovering the next SEP that goes down in the channel.

As 'ballsy' goes, if Henderson's 'not been in Nantes for a year' claim is untrue, that's got to be off the scale!

Fairly safe to assume that he's not been in Nantes for a year I would suggest -...

TRUTHSEEKER1 It is always safer for a VFR-only pilot to remain VMC - that is obvious and doesn't need asking.

The issue in this case is that, over water and under overcast - it is...

I don't think you need to ask that question - and whether that happens at 20 thousand feet or 20 the result is the same.

NAROBS No, it's not saying that - but there is a mingling of what is illegal, and what people might not like but is legal.

Like lumping weed and tobacco in together, I suppose...

I do think we should be careful as a million assumptions slowly become 'fact' on this thread.

Whilst the whole duck thing is generally valid (walks like, looks like etc.), there is an absence of...

dalgetty , might be best to steer clear of air crash investigation!

piperboy84 A quick Gramet check before departure would have given him some ideas, but without a PIREP it would remain the computer's best guess.

I think that fails the commonality of purpose. Presumably your passenger at C is not going to B for the same reason as the pilot.

If, though, they're both going to the same lunch then you're...

I frequently fly across the Channel, at night, single engine - nothing inherently wrong about it (whilst we all prefer day VFR over land of course). Would usually want to be 5000-7000ft - but at this...
