Special mention too to the Phenom 100 that crashed in Maryland and killed a widow and her 2 children besides the 3 people onboard including the CEO of a successful biotech. The lawsuits for the Citation crash are probably still ongoing and claim the pilot was grossly incompetent/unfamiliar with the avionics of the small jet as he probably thought he was on AP but he wasn't and it didn't take long to crash back into Erie at hundreds of miles per hour following this lack of awareness. I suspect the same kind of event that killed a hunting party in Chamberlain, South Dakota, also in a PC12, or the Citation that crashed in lake Erie in the middle of the night. MarcPilot Tuesday, Februat 2:23:00 AM EST The pilot read back the altimeter setting correctly, and that was the last transmission from the airplane. The pilot read back the instructions correctly and then at 1358, the controller contacted the airplane and issued a heading to CIGOR, but then indicated the airplane was “correcting now.” At 1358:46, the controller called the pilot and issued the local altimeter setting because the airplane was at 1,700 ft msl and was supposed to maintain 1,900 ft msl. The pilot responded “roger” and the controller said the airplane could proceed direct to CIGOR, to cross the waypoint at or above 1,900 ft msl and was cleared for the runway 26 RNAV approach. At 1355, the controller called the airplane and asked to verify if they were direct to CIGOR because the airplane was still on a southwesterly heading. The pilot responded that he would appreciate that, and the controller cleared the pilot direct to CIGOR, the initial approach fix for the RNAV 26 approach. The controller offered an approach to runway 8 or runway 3, and the pilot chose runway 8.Īt 1352, the controller reported that the restricted airspace was not active anymore and asked if the pilot wanted the RNAV approach to runway 26 instead. Furthermore, the controller queried the pilot as to why he did not respond to the earlier radio calls, and the pilot responded that he “was trying to get out” and was unable to receive the radio transmissions. At 1349, the pilot called the controller and requested the RNAV approach to runway 26 but was denied the request because of the active restricted airspace. After multiple calls with no response from the pilot, the controller instructed the military aircraft in the restricted airspace to remain above 4,000 ft msl. At 1341, the controller called the pilot and indicated that they were about to enter the restricted airspace. At 1338, the controller advised the pilot that nearby restricted airspace was active, and the pilot confirmed that they would remain clear of the airspace and fly to the east. Smith Field Airport (MRH), Beaufort, North Carolina. After departure, the pilot contacted air traffic control, reported they were going to level off at 3,500 ft mean sea level (msl), and requested visual flight rules (VFR) flight following as well as an instrument flight rules (IFR) clearance into Michael J.
