Probably a bit cooler because we get the winds through the hills that cool things down. We do too; it was well above 100 dF down in Sacramento that day and we maxed out at 94. That's why my best guess. What is your best guess or is there hard data? And you say "we". Are you based out of Cameron? I am based out of Cameron Park. Its a great drive up there because its usually 5 degrees cooler than it is in Folsom. Bitchkitty? The geese coming off of the lake about a hundred yards off the runway come to mind, as do the terrain and flora on either end. No geese today. Probably run off by the development. And those hills on either end juice up some pretty fair thermals on a hot summer afternoon. Yea, but the termals usually get you on downwind. I dunno if that guy was wobbling from stall burble or thermals, but I'll bet the NTSB will find out. It will be interesting to find out. Its just impossible to tell at this point. A friend of mine had a very similar accident. The NTSB found the result to be two partially plugged injector lines. That's just an example of how non-expected the results could be. The thing Cameron does NOT have that we do are those goddamned 80' steel pigstickers with obstruction lights on them all across the north side of the runway. Yea, those things always give me the chills. I can't believe that the FAA (or more likely CalTrans) required your airport to *install* airplane obsitcles. -Robert |
