Hum. the island wasn’t the right shape! Ok. Eastern Med. I was trying to analyse this as navigational warnings around Little St James in the VI!

Excellent. Yup thats the approved source. Everyone has access to that data in real time.

Regarding your post of Jr's crash. Two issues, one, I would want to see the actual source of that report before I would even entertain its validity.

see NTSB synopsis report

The airplane is a Saratoga, not going to fly to 14,000 feet. 7 miles from destination, not going to be at 14,000 feet. From 14,000 in a full power dive, might, I doubt it will reach 6,000 feet per minute dive. So think of it this way . . . An average of 6,000 feet per minute would require a fall of 8,000, 9,000 feet per minute towards the end. Not going to happen.

So many things wrong in that report that the anon posted or shall I say are suspect. Like he is VFR, so his altitude would have been ***+ 500, etc etc.

He was under-qualified for the conditions he tried to fly in. Pretty simple. In all these years see it time and time again.
