SiuDude scored one here. I heard 1 report that he had 75 TT, and everybody else is reporting 400TT. The PLANE had 400TT. Not the pilot. Anybody see the article in Plane and Pilot this month asking about primary students (and low time pilots?) in the Cirrus? So, if he got his private in the 2005 172SP in the video and got the ticket in 45 hours, that is about a possible 30 hours he would have in the SR 20.
Another bone to pick...Miles. "This is the best-selling blah-blah-blah." He mentioned that it had all the bells and whistles. BUT Miles was talking about his 22. As the spec sheet shows, this is a 4 year old model with no traffic or wx. ALSO, everybody is talking about the chute (the black boxes were beat to a pulp in another thread-'nuff said). Isn't the min altitude 2000 AGL or so and less that 133 KIAS for a successful deployment. That won't help for a spin in the pattern or a low altitude corridor.
Two things are true right now:
1) We know less than the NTSB folks on the ground.
2) The press knows/understands flying less than an....ostrich. (Trying to stay clean.)
This was a tragedy because somebody who obviously had a passion for flying is dead. How about focusing on that?
I just get over-torqued because the "experts" convince the public to fear a 152 because somebody MIGHT pack it with 50 lbs of HE and... How about a RYDER truck, you idiots! That can carry a heck of a lot more! There is a self-proclaimed CNN Security Analist ;-) named Pat "the Blueberry Pin Stripe Pimp" D'Amuro talking to Anderson Cooper. It's Bob Arnot all over again!! "The little planes don't have to files the blessed flight plan!!" I think it's Boss Daley in a costume.
Ok...ENOUGH!! If I keep watching this, I'll shoot my tv. I like my tv.
Dear GOD they are talking about Munson in 79. Wasn't that a Citation?!?
Idiots.......
