Two miles and 200 feet msl is decision height on the ILS approach into Nantucket.

There's no more mystery here than in Junior's case.

Single pilot IFR is a fool's game and, sooner or later, it bites you.

Are they planning a Ricardo Montalban show "Philanthropist island"?

Four philanthropists in one year? That's pretty spooky!

I there were an offshore wind farm in operation nearby with FAA lighting these accidents could be reduced.

"A spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration said Baker, who had nearly 40 years experience as a pilot, was flying at 200 feet about 2miles from the airport when contact with his airplane was lost. There were no severe weather problems reported in the area and Baker never indicated he was in distress."

I'd bet heart attack, stroke or seizure.

No. No ILS has its decision height two miles from the runway. And single pilot IFR is standard for many of us. Junior bought it by flying into IFR at night in a complex single.
