Airplane in NYC is a Cirrus SR20
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. Sinan -- A. Sinan Unur (remove .invalid and reverse each component for email address) |

CNN reports 8-mile visibility but low ceiling (1800') at the time of the crash. (Most of CNN's coverage has been quite good; they're getting commentary from their journalist Miles O'Brien, who's a pilot. They also found a pilot eyewitness on the ground who provided a cogent account.) --Gary |

It was as if he'd gone too far, and turned to stay under the class B (and go back down the river). BTW, someone mentioned to me that the wind at the time was brisk and out of the east. That could have widened the turn beyond expectation. - Andrew |

... He busted Class B too. What makes you say so? The crash site is abeam FDR Island, adjacent to part of the East River VFR corridor. (Or do you just mean that he was slightly inland at the moment of the crash?) And is it known yet if he might have had a Class B clearance? --Gary -cd "A. Sinan Unur" wrote in message ...

A pilot correspondent at CNN said that (can't remember his name).

I heard two "experts" commenting on the crash. One went on and on about how
airflow over the wing creates a vacuum which lifts the airplane, and if it banked suddenly the vacuum would disappear. He did talk about Class B, almost as though he knew what he was talking about. 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.
