Another frivolous lawsuit
Avweb is reporting another wrongful death lawsuit
after a Piper Malibu lost a wing in Florida when attempting to fly between thunderstorm cells reaching to FL450. The pilot was cautioned by his CFI 2 weeks prior to the accident about his deficient decision making concerning weather and stated that he "lacked a healthy respect" for the power of thunderstorms. Unfortunately, Piper, the manufacturer of the autopilot, the turbine conversion manufacturer, and the people who worked on the plane prior to flight are all now suffering for this "lack of a healthy respect". Interestingly, FS didn't provide a SIGMET advisory and the bodies had some level of CO in their muscles. http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief2.asp?...FA111& akey=1 -- Dr. Tony Cox Citrus Controls Inc. e-mail: http://CitrusControls.com/ |
