Learjet 45 crashes in Telluride

Uhh...the airplane was destroyed wasn't it??? What part of NTSB 830 is being questioned?

 

[AviateYou]

I know - go figure...It was totaled.

 

[ultrarunner]

Interesting. I wonder if the operator is making some type of argument in an attempt to prevent an NTSB investigation?

Don't know what regulations you have been reading but you can depart under Part 91 zero-zero to an airport that is zero-zero and do as many approachs at that airport as you want and then go to your alternate. The only restriction is fuel. Not the smartest thing to do, but legal.

 

[Hung Start]

Oh really? So the little tables detailing the approach speeds and such don't apply? And when the say that an approach for that catagory are not authorized, it means nothing?
Good luck with that.

It sounds as if Gulfstream 2345 is not quite up to speed on what NA means on the approach plate.

But then his profile shows he's pretty new to aviation, so I guess we'll cut him some slack...

Geez!

I remember an FAA inspector in LA telling a story of a Gulfstream captain flying into Burbank well below mins. When questioned, the captain had absolutely no idea about approach mins, alternates, etc.

Might have knew them at one time but after years and years and years of flying, and no one questioning (part 91) ....


Pretty amazing.

Heard the Same about the Burbank 'G' Captain. Clay someone or another? Heard he started a magazine or something awhile back.

You're going to suggest that Clay Lacy doesn't understand minimums? Really?
