Default SR-22 Crash, with a twist

Doug writes:

Glassy water makes the pilot think he is higher than he actually is.
Numerous crashes from this effect.


If they are looking at a houseboat, they have an excellent idea of where the
surface actually is. And if one of them said "watch the wheels," they knew
they weren't at 2000 feet.
