Default VFR position reporting

Kev, re your comment about another accident in the same area -- can you
offer other information or a link to the NTSB report?

Thanks

Tony

long before him, a professional crew doing night IFR certification did
just what he did... and that was with _three_ experienced pilots
aboard.

So it's hard to totally give him grief in this case. As we all know
from research, it can take less than a minute to go from start of
spiral to death.
