Personally, I'll continue wondering why things happen, and hopefully not
repeat those mistakes myself. You can stick your head in the sand if you
want.

Wondering why things happen does nothing to prevent you from repeating a
mistake made by someone else.

Reserving judgement until actual FACTS can be analyzed is a far cry from
sticking one's head in the sand. In fact, your method of assuming you know
anything about an accident because you read a post on the internet that
refers to a news story on television is much closer to sticking your head in
the sand than waiting for geniune information.

You might as well source Wikipedia.

I hear too many "old pilots' tales" that were started because some pilot
assumed that something he saw another pilot do caused hurt to a plane or a
pilot.

So why were you reading this thread in the first place?

2 reports on the evening news today (Boston area) on small plane
crashes. A C172M crashed at Mansfield, Ma. 4 people on board, 2
fatalities. This was on Saturday, a day that produced record high
temperatures for the area. Density altitude/overloading problem?


Were those density altitudes higher than they were in July?




maybe, maybe not. But it is irrelevant. That plane, with that low time
pilot, with that MGTW, on that day was not there in July.

Possibly, but we have 172's take off out here in the mountainous west all
summer, and we START at 5500-6000 feet, not the 100 some odd feet in MA.

You're kidding, right?

I'm a troll because I don't want to jump on the "it must have been
overweight" bandwagon based on a television report?

Maybe it was Brittany Spears.

Turns out there is a video tape of the 1B9 accident (in addition to
all the witnesses) so that will greatly help investigation. jeff

They may have been. Southern New England seemed seasonally cool this
July.

Someone posited that it was 95F.

I'd rather that 95F there, than in Denver or Cheyenne, which we do hit
frequently, from June through August.
