My friends cousin died like this Crashed right into someone's house, if the family hadn't been arguing, and left the room, They would have been dead too.
"It could not be determined why the pilots failed to obtain the current weather briefing." Probably for the same reason they diverted to an airport much farther away from the one they'd departed, when the icing conditions certainly weren't getting any better. "Descend and maintain 10,000. That's the best I can do right now." Rick Harrison was an air traffic controller back in the day?
Not a typo. According to the NTSB report, Appendix B, under the heading "Barbara Ray Fisher": *"He* held airline transport pilot certificate No. 1196805, dated June 27, 1974, for airplane multiengine land, with a type rating in the DC-3... In addition, *he* held flight instructor certificate No. 1196805 CFI, dated August 3, 1979... *He* held a second - class medical certificate, dated January 14, 1980, with the limitation that the holder wear glasses for near and far vision while exercising the privileges of his airman certificate." I was surprised to see *"He* has 10,225 hours of flying time" as well, to be honest.
@@b.t.356 wow - you’d want to have a serious and difficult conversation, a la Johnny Cash’s ‘Boy named Sue’ if that’s what your parents named you (assuming you’re a boy’).
Been there (almost) done that on more than one occasion.. Watching the ASI creep back to min speed for ice and unable to descend is one of the most unnerving experiences a pilot will have to deal with.. have to admit, I've had my share of luck.
