Are you referring to a real airplane or simulated flight with MSFS?
I'm asking about real airplanes, subsequent to a simulated flight
with the same aircraft that ended tragically just a few minutes ago,
probably due to icing, although I'm not sure. I tried the flight as
an experiment to see if it was possible, and I'd like to know from
pilots of the real aircraft whether or not it would be possible or
safe to attempt it in real life.
Weather at Aspen was low IFR so I had planned to divert to Garfield
County, but I lost control of the aircraft about 20 miles southeast
at 12500 feet and impacted terrain.
Your choice of words is childish at best. Computer games don't end
"tragically", they just end.
Your so called "experiment" is just mental masturbation.
For a real pilot to attempt a flight under the conditions you describe
with the total lack of preperation you describe, that person would
have to be extremely stupid and ignore a huge pile of regulations and
have absolutely no common sense.
You might as well have posted "I simulated shoving a hand grenade up
my butt and I got blown to hell. Is it really possible to shove a hand
grenade up my butt?"
It sure would be nice if Anthony did phoe a grenade up his butt and pulled
the pin. We could all enjoy reading the results in the Parisian newspapers
the next day!
