Just because you can afford an airplane doesn’t mean you can fly one.

He was the only soul-on-board? Sad. RIP.

Guy looks a bit too gay to be flying that type of plane without someone helping him.

Flying a plane is simple. Very intuitive if you have half a brain.

many private pilots end up killing multiple members of their family

Except for the landing/controlled crash. Your half a brain forgot that part.

Very easy to get into big trouble with a high performance turbo prop like that. The wing configuration does not lend itself to errors at marginal airspeeds such as landing. Recovering from such stall at low altitude may not be possible. A moments inattention and it stalls. These planes may be nicknamed “banker killers” just like Bonanzas are “Doctor killers”.

What a nasty comment. Reminds me of when the United Healthcare guy was shot to death; people had very little empathy because, well he was part of the health care insurance industry.

[PhiloBedo]

I believe there may have been severe icing conditions, at altitude, at the time, though no mention of it.

It’s very simple if YOU fly the plane at all phases except maybe cruise. If you use all the geegaws and gizmos that interact with one another and the control surfaces and the power settings things can get very complicated not to mention confusing. Especially if something is switched off that ought to be on or on that ought to be off or you’ve input the wrong number somewhere and are getting anxious and behind the flight…

[HerrBlucher]

They sure do. The family flying vacation that is so important they are not going to let a little bit of weather get in their way.

[Rummyfan]

Aviate, navigate, communicate ... as they say.

[BenLurkin]

That’s a cool looking plane.

[jjotto]

He had taken off from Des Moines but that was a stop on the way back from Florida. Fatigue maybe a factor?

[rockabyebaby]

Suicide???

The Occupy Democrats will be popping champagne bottles.

Yes they are still around , last year on X I trolled them a lot but they all stopped responding to me.
