C-421 down PWK

[Bryan D]

"The Cessna 421 crashed in an industrial park in Wheeling. Nate and Ben Mortkovitch were able to walk away from the crash. Their plane is based at Palwaukee Airport. "

It appears that neither had a multi rating. Nate has a SEL with instrument rating.

Ha, you would think that after crashing a Saratoga, your replacement plane would not be a 421. But I guess some people never learn.

My guess is that the FAA will never allow this guy to fly again.

This isnt "chester"

Not you, the pilot of the 421... But now I see in a later post it wasn't...

I'm just gonna go out on a limb and guess that with no ME he'll also have no insurance?

Good point, or if he does have insurance, they aren't going to cover this accident... Expensive lesson to learn...

But like the old saying goes:

"Life's tough, it's even tougher when your stupid"

Also, according to the Airman Registry he got his IR on 3/2/05? A 421 with 5 months of instrument experience?

What's that got anything to do with it? They put 300 hour dorks in the right seat of a jet.

You know that's not entirely true. I think life is more difficult for the smart people who must put up with stupid ones every day!

LOL! You do have a point there!

 

[100LL... Again!]

I'm glad he is safe.

IF HE DOES NOT HAVE A MULTI RATING, he must be beaten with tiedown chains for putting a black mark on our industry.

Since everyone is so into 'scab lists' these days, perhaps we ought to have alist of people who disgrace our industry in this manner. No pilot will speak to him and no FBO will fuel him.

Rumor at PWK is that this is this guys 3rd crash. After the second one they yanked his certificates and told him if he wanted them back he had to redo all the training. Thus the relatively new issuance on the instrument ticket, he just got it back a few months ago. Rumor is also that he did not have insurance. He asked to be trained in the 421 at a couple of the flight schools at PWK and noone would do it. Also heard he had to go to Wisconsin for the instrument ride b/c the Chicago examiners won't get near him. Just what I'm hearing but it all seems to fit.
