C-421 down PWK

[banned username 2]

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.

I feel sorry for this guys MEI / CFI... You know the feds are going to be knocking on his door...

Well, the guy did not have a MEL so his training was never completed and presumably did not sign him off to fly 'solo' (son on plane??) so seems to me the MEI could say triaining was never completed unless he somehow signed him off. Don;t know about that though but judging by the story, the guy wouldn't care if he had a sign off or not.
