Aftermath

How much of a pilot’s decision making is drawn from irrational factors?

The airplane disappears behind trees, reappears, turns, seems to aim straight for the startled stargazers on the shore.

Taking a Pilatus PC-12 aft of the limit spells disaster.

A low-altitude stall spells disaster for a vintage racer.

We know that his airplane stalled, but why it stalled is still a mystery.

An equipment upgrade leads to a pilot downgrade.

Habit born from overconfidence plus nonchalance add up to a deadly combination.

Mistakes breed in the shadowy land between the systematic and the instinctive.

Lack of experience rarely leads to the outcome of this Colorado mission.

A Mooney pilot heading to West Houston Airport (KIWS) follows the ‘insidious demon’ of scud running to his demise.
