The second guy raged on about how the plane was over the river but he knew that this was just an accident waiting to happen and that all GA airplanes should file flight plans. Filing a flight plan would not have prevented this accident. I doubt that impact on a building would have been mentioned in the flight plan. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

CNN is reporting that the pilot was a Yankee's pitcher: Lidle. He apparently got his license only 7 months ago. Bragged about how safe his plane was. I have a feeling this is similar to JFK junior's case of not knowing one's limitations. This 2005 article has some ominous comments about the plane: From http://philip.greenspun.com/flying/cirrus-sr20 "The combination of novice pilots and a fast airplane has resulted in a mournful accident record that is reflected in high insurance rates and recurrent training requirements similar to what you'd find on a twin-engine plane or pressurized single....If the engine were to quit over water or the mountains at night, the parachute would be a nice feature indeed. However, mechanical failures are not a very common cause of small airplane crashes, and the Cirrus has some features, to be discussed in this review, that make it more prone to pilot-induced crashes than a Diamond or Cessna....Once in a spin the SR20 and SR22 are virtually impossible to recover, according to the test pilots..."

Tom,
"....Once in a spin the SR20 and SR22 are virtually impossible to recover, according to the test pilots..." Is there a design benefit for an aircraft to not be spin recoverable? No. But the statement quoted is pure anecdotal evidence. Don't take it too seriously. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

I talked with my aunt who also lives on the east side of Manhattan and she said it's been a crappy day up there... in fact, while I was talking to her it started raining. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com |
