According to a story in today's paper, three a/c inbound to UNV
declared emergencies due to icing on the afternoon of the accident.
One, not quite half an hour before the crash, one about half an hour
after the crash, and one later. Those three landed safely.
Coincidentally, an FAA Safety Meeting was held at UNV this evening.
It was pointed out that not one of the surviving pilots gave a PIREP
to AOO, the nearest AFSS.
In the discussions that followed, both the senior briefer at AOO and a
representative of the Harrisburg FSDO inissted that no one would be
"turned in" for giving such a PIREP.
