First U.S. Pilot Jailed For A Domestic Aircraft Accident

in : The problem is that the FAA has deliberately refused to define "congested" so as to apply the term at their descretion in legal matters. This case seems to be an example of that. From the chart and satellite image at the links below, how would you, or any other reader, class the area where this mishap occurred, uncontested? Congested? Here's a chart centered on Alexander Field South Wood County (ISW): http://skyvector.com/perl/code?id=KISW&scale=1 Here's a satellite image: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...91231&t=h&z=13 It's unclear to me on exactly which part of the river this mishap occurred, but personally, I would class the areas north, east, and southwest of the field as congested. Obviously the green wetlands to the south and west of the field are only congested with vegetation. |
