C-182 accident, basic rule thrown out the window

[Jack Mehoff]

So see if you can guess what is going to happen from the very first view of the plane. Its really sad to see something bad happen. It amazing to see the lack of common sense in some pilots. (and this is a non-I-pod toting spiky haird oakley wearing...... guy)

Aside form obvious gross weight and CG problems, that had to be at least 20-30 degrees of flaps...

I think that was a mission trip. Makes it even more sad..

Read about it at another site. They were carrying a sick child with mother or something along those lines.

Very sad.

that would explain the O2 bottles. I was wondering what that was all about

It looked extremely uncoordinated. I bet it would have climbed out ok had he kept the ball centered.

Oh man that sucked. Didn't really need to see that, prayers for all involved.

Looks like they never got the speed to go fly, directional control issues aside. An interesting display of ground effect and what can happen once you leave it.

Dang... Um... not sure what to say. Didnt look like he tried to keep much of a centerline. I think he was worried about getting off the ground within the runway distance available. Who knows...

Any official news on why it crashed?

Any official news on why it crashed?

It was Mexican.

 

[Alin10123]

Wait... does that mean they crashed because they were mexican? Or there's no official news because it was a mexican crash?

It was Mexican.
