Just picking this post to reply to.....not picking on the post.....
None of us were there..... We were not making the decisions..... I have limited info on the pilot...... I have some time in SEL power......yes....I have been number 8 in the pattern (Poughkeepsie, NY/Dutchess county airport...) in a C-150.,,.. believe VNE is like 130MPH?. Flying a pattern at about 120MPH level flight (likely a bit less) and asked to speed up due to twin prop behind me......asked for a 360* orbit to allow a pass.....dude....I am maxed out on level flight in this ship.....let follower pass if OK.... Yes, I have also seen MANY power flights into our field over the decades...... Quite a few were flatter than I would do (with margins) in a lowly 2-33, let alone a powerplane.....roughly 22:1 vs. 7:1...... Yes, I have seen this incident (glider goes through house roof) pop up all over the Frikkin place. Sorry for a broken ship. Glad pilot basically walked away. Glad ground peeps were physically fine. Yes, ground damage done......hopefully insurance fixes it. As mentioned.....maybe a bit more training of pilot would have helped....maybe. High cause of bent/broken SEL ships.......run out of fuel or continued VFR flight into IFR....CFIT is likely next..... This case sorta sounds like......"lack of fuel". Yes, poop happens...... Name calling without knowing a lot more facts presented is.....well......poor... Whatever,..... |
