.... Also, I read somewhere that JFK Junior's plane crashed probably because he did not trust his intstruments. What's the likelihood of that? -Le Chaud Lapin- Approaching an airport with limited VFR usually requires a radio call for barometric altitude reset, to the airport intended for landing, especially if flying into a Low pressure, which causes barometer reading of the altitude to give a false higher altitude. His altimeter may have been reading 200' when he was at sea level...that's a big oops. Ken |
