1. From the local TV news, the plane's engine quited when it turned
crosswind. It immediately dove down to the ground after engine quit. 2. Prior to the crash, it's done many touch and go on the William Fox Field (KWJF). 3. Note that the temporature here in Southern California was over 76 degree in downtown LA. I would guess it must be close to high 80 or even 90s in the desert. (The crash happend on 1:40PM) 4. From the TV news, local sheriff saw the chute ejected after it hit the ground. But can't be determined by official yet. 5. The plane was a rental at VNY Gene Hudson Aviation. My friend's SR22 had experienced engine quit last summer when he took off from Las Vegas in a hot day, with fully loaded, with air-condition turned on. It was caused by engine vapor lock. Fortuntely he ws high and was close to JEAN ( 0L7). He made a successful dead stick landing at JEAN. His wife on the side sreamed ...pull the chute..pull the chute...but he did not attempted. |
