Not a good week

Post by Old fella »

Week Hasn’t been a good for GA in the US of A. BE200 down in Arkansas with 5 dead and today a P-12 Air Ambulance down in Nevada with 5 also dead. Not good at all, speculation both are wx related.

The ADS-B information for the PC-12 shows a very alarming rate of decent in a very tight turn. Very sad....

I read that the aircraft came apart in flight. Scary.

Blancolirio (youtube channel) reports the steep descent caused the inflight breakup. Probably spatial disorientation while SPIFR causing a spiral dive
