I think you need to learn more about the term "back-peddling". See, if i had offered my prayers to the family after you had called me a low-life for somehow disrespecting them by posting a link to a video of which one of YOUR pilots made, then that would be back-peddling. Further, if you feel the link video is a safe way to fly in known ice, then it should respresent the fine judgement being used at CASW and that this accident couldnt possibly be related to poor judgement in known ice once the final report is released. Therefore showing respect.

I posted the link, offered my prayers. Nothing more, nothing less. I know this is a tough time for the CASW family right now, so i'll ignore your attempts at throwing insults trying to start another pissing match.

Just one more question though. Was the pilot who made this video the same pilot involved in the accident? I am very saddened to see something like this happen, every time it happens. And i seen it happen too many times, although once is enough.
 
Does a crash have to turn into a pissin match guys? You both have a point that your trying to prove. Unless the video was made by the pilot that crashed what relevance does it have here? This is not the time or place for this crap. NoPax your trying to do the right thing here, but trust me you will never win with this guy! What involvement do have with this anyways RJPilot? However, RJPilot your prayers are appreciated!

that video was NOT made by the pilot involved in the accident. The accident pilot has a very strong accent, which is not evident in the video. Plus this was the first snow for the season, and only his second month at the company.

The weather at the approx time of event was 3/4 vis SN BR 008 BKN 014 OVC
Pilot was shooting ILS 9 (glideslope unusable) at GLR. No other details have been released.

Scott was a lively guy with a big smile. He was a pleasure to work with.
 
I flew that plane on that route last winter, I remember doing the ILS 9 at GLR every evening. I didn't know him but it still hits hard. Be careful out there!!
 
Nopax you are right on, this RJPilott is a looser. This is the nark that was discussing turning over fellow pilots to the FAA FSDO on another thread. However Way2broke is right, arguing with this tool will not get you anywhere.


RIP, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family and the good people at CAS.

I flew for CAS a year or so ago... I know for a fact that every single AC500 at CAS doesn't have ADF or DME in it. All they have is a Garmin 150 VFR GPS.

Can someone tell me why CAS is still telling the PIC's that it is still legal for them to shoot an ILS that requires ADF or DME???

and before anyone goes and looks it up i will tell you that the ILS 9 at GLR requires ADF or DME. sad, sad, situation. I wonder what the FAA thinks about this?

hahaha... go back to your MS Flight Sim and Top Gun DVD. "FISDO"... and im the tool.....lol... what a jackass...
 
As many may know, this tragic accident has been a tough pill for the entire CASW family to swallow. My thoughts and prayers go out to SP's family. SP was a good pilot and excellent human being. He will be missed by many.
DME and ADF are only required to shoot the LOC 09 in to GLR, but not for the ILS. The irony is SP shouldn't have shot this approach with the GS inop. Maybe he didn't know that the GS was inop. Maybe the GS wasn't NOTAMED out of service. In this early stage, speculation doesn't do anyone any good. Still this unfortuneate event occurred.
I quote the AIM: "The FAA has initiated a program to provide a new notation for LOC approaches when charted on an ILS approach requiring other navigational aids to fly the final approach course. The LOC minimums will be annotated with the NAVAID required e.g. "DME Required" or "RADAR Required." During the transition period, ILS approaches will still exist without the annotation."
Let's all be safe out there. RIP SP, may you now soar with the angels.

Mr. RJPilott with the double t at the end, thank you for correcting a spelling error I made. I was sure to edit the error. I am positive that a superior RJ pilot like yourself never makes a spelling error. What would I know, I fly piece of $hit DC-10s for a living.


My point is, anyone who would discuss turning another pilot over to the FAA as you have in other posts needs to beaten severely. Your negative comments about Central air, this video, and freight pilots in general are not welcome.

P.S. I do not find any humor in you refering to freight dogs as temporary "whores"
Congratulationsgratulations
