Avweb is reporting another wrongful death lawsuit
after a Piper Malibu lost a wing in Florida when attempting
to fly between thunderstorm cells reaching to FL450.

The pilot was cautioned by his CFI 2 weeks prior to the
accident about his deficient decision making concerning weather
and stated that he "lacked a healthy respect" for the power
of thunderstorms.

Unfortunately, Piper, the manufacturer of the autopilot, the
turbine conversion manufacturer, and the people who worked
on the plane prior to flight are all now suffering for this "lack of
a healthy respect".

Interestingly, FS didn't provide a SIGMET advisory and the
bodies had some level of CO in their muscles.
