Looks like a couple of weeks ago, Aero Atlanta lost two cfi's in a check-out accident in a PA32. Anybody know what happened? Prayers and thoughts for the families and friends.

I asked around about this and the word is that these two CFI's were doing aerobatics and it was not the first time. Guess I won't be renting any more planes at Aero Atlanta/Northside Aviation.

I think the CWT blew up.

I cant think of what a CWT would be

Sorry. I took it for granted. My cup of sarcasm runneth over. Check out www.twa800.com.

I probably shouldn't step into this one, but the conspiracy theorists who've concluded there's no way a Boeing fuel tank exploded really need to do some research. If they did, they would realize Boeing has had a problem with this area for years.

Maybe I should start my own website.

Sure, why don't you start a new thread. I notice that you are a safety consultant, and have time in Embraer 135/145's. As a safety consultant, you may want to investigate how those airplanes were certified for icing.

Nah, I'm a Human Factors/Safety Program Management sort of guy. I have no background or experience with certification. That having been said, you've piqued my interest. Pray tell what icing issues would those be? I could rattle off quite a list of dead folks from exploding fuselage tanks on Boeing aircraft, I don't think there's been an in-flight loss yet on the Embraer.

PS- Awesome website! I may order the EG autobiography from you. Thanks!
