There was no pilot on board according to the NTSB.


The pilot was unlicensed. The concept of "pilot" predates
the concept of licensing people to engage in that activity
by many years.


Ok, so it seems my joke wasn't well understood. I probably spend more
time than most reading NTSB reports because I'm a CFI and like to pass
that information on to students.
When the NTSB issues a final cause for an accident they usually use
pre-canned reasons for the accident so they are easily searchable. In
this type of accident it would be typical for one cause of the accident
to be listed...
Pilot In Command - No qualified PIC on board
So, when Steve Woz (founder of Apple) crashed his Bonanza there was not
PIC on board according to the NTSB.

That's an interesting point, and makes perfect sense once explained.

Thanks,
Peter
