Thank you for the responses.

I could not find anything to support counsel's mendacious claim that the aicraft was towed or flown above any restriction either by the manufacturer or by the FAA. The evidence seems to support your opinion, Tom, that she got into sink and did not correct accordingly. Why was she so far out of trim? 45 degrees in the front seat isn't something you wouldn't notice from the back.



There is a mention of 12-5 in the accident report interviews.

Page 104 line 3 regarding the length or glider flights.

3 A. It would be to be 2 hours. But that being said, even if it
4 is, we're never above 12-5 for more than 30 minutes due to the
5 oxygen requirements. So we have that kind of ceiling.
