Indiana U plane down.....5 killed

[Dubya]

Cool...I didn't know you could actually major in a specific instrument. I figured it would be just a music degree or something. My mom is a kickass pianist...thats why I was wondering. I wish like hell now that she would have made me sit down and learn it as a kid. What a great talent.

Pay some money to a college or university and get a B.M. or a B.A. concentrating in piano performance. That's how. It could be vocal performance, composition, pedagogy, theory, history, etc...take your pick. Mine was a Bachelor of Arts in Jazz Studies with a concentration in piano performance. I did it for fun and kind of sucked cause I didn't practice enough. I can jam though and play some good jazz, bluegrass, you name it.

I also have a B.S. but don't know crap.

So are we interested in why the 206 (Caravan?) crashed or how to play the piano? What was her experience? Sad that four others put their trust in her...and now?

Well, to be fair, they are saying that weather may have been instrumental in the crash.

Bruce Payton, director of Monroe County Airport, said weather may have played the biggest role in the crash.
"I can tell you this: Weather conditions were pretty bad," with fog and a mist that made for poor visibility when the plane was coming in to land, Payton said. The weather also slowed search efforts.

The Caravan is a 208. The 206 is a piston aircraft. A bigger fatter 182 which is a bigger fatter 172 which are very good flying airplanes.

factor or not...

I learned out of Terre Haute, and the Bloomington VOR seemed to only work part of the time. Not too sure if the ILS had the same issues. Could be something to that.

Pilot and plane were from South Bend. Someone at my local flight school looked up the certificate from the name in the paper. Only private ASEL and AMEL plus an instrument.

I agree with FN_FAL on this. Let's not jump to conclusions just yet.

whats your point? All thats telling me is that she was qualified to fly that plane in that weather, at least certificate wise.

I used to crank out commercial sign offs on the weekends between 10 day instrument students, like a "girls gone wild" chick flips off her bikini top. What's your point? Do you think a couple of chandelles, 8's on pylons and the aeronautical knowledge necessary to do bird watching and banner towing would have saved their bacon? Knowing that crap didn't do much for the 121 pilots in those two Missouri crashes, did it sonny?

As far as you or anybody knows at this point in time, the vacuum pump failed and suckered her in to the crash or a control cable snapped...to guess any further would be useless.

I was just replying to cappytans question. I guess my wording of "only" was of bad taste.

A word makes the difference. No big deal...I guess I owe you an opthalmology.


:laugh:

It was mentioned in an earlier post that the pax were musicians...that is what prompted the temporary hijack. So technically "we" are interested in both huh cappytan?

[Cappytan]

I understand the interest, was just making sure we don't miss the reason for the thread that a plane went down and "we", or at least some of us, might be interested as to why?

Ahh, the StationAir.....thanks Fisherman!
