I am a General Avaition pilot with over 12,000 hours, Multi engine, instrument rated, CFII, Commercial, 1200 hrs turbine time. You are 2200 times more likely to be killed in a car than a small plane. Now there are stupid people that shouldn’t be flying, BUT (as in gun control) It ain’t the instrument that is bad, it is the user.
Is this going to be another ‘doctor killer’ story?
It will be interesting to see how many hours of twin time the deceased had, and perhaps more telling how many hours of (an) engine out training he had.
