Her life was not any more valuable because she was pretty. This is from the elevation data in Google Earth, and visually looking from the runway appears to be in the ballpark, as the northeast bank of the river is higher than the runway. So if as you are saying she had the runway in sight, why on God's green earth was she 100 feet AGL a half-mile from the runway? At 1407 Eastern Standard Time [] on 26 May 2019, a Cessna Aircraft Company T210M (C210), registered VH-SUX (SUX) and operated by Thomson Aviation, departed Mount Isa Airport for an aerial geophysical survey flight with a pilot and observer on board. . To wit, check out this video at the 16:46 mark:https://youtu.be/aRN3RJaW618, Here's an even better view of what those steam stacks do on a morning with very similar weather conditions to the crash. Really only SE piston and one helicopter showing on Flightaware. (Nobody commenting here so far has indicated that they looked closely and noticed the tolerance associated with specific obstruction records in the obstruction database, so it's time to shine a light on declared tolerances there. Interesting read, what a tragedy. Osha's 42 inch guardrail standard x 20 comes out to 70 feet.This was the image used:https://goo.gl/maps/CqTD5vsKPo3e2cK99Door opening height to clear semi trucks are 14 feet. Subsequently, the controller cleared the pilot for the RNAV runway 20 approach via the MALTT transition at BYI. The lowest reported cloud layer was 1500 feet higher than the MDA. Ditching in a foot or two of water thats spilling onto the sand, as he appeared to do, is so much easier than ditching outside the breakers where you would encounter wave crests and troughs. 560XL+ 4 fatal Connecticut. I'd be the same. That's a stark contrast not likely to be mistaken for anything else. Our beautiful and beloved daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, cousin and friend will be missed more than words can express, but she will be in all our hearts until we meet again. In this case, you have an unconventional approach angle, no vertical guidance, no VASI, no PAPI. Ever heard of a displaced threshold? Others in earlier comments cited an obstruction of 60ft AGL with a lateral offset from the centerline, but that is *not* the stack that was hit.Here are the numbers I used in arriving at the above conclusions:(1) Runway displaced threshold length = 305.7ft (measured from satellite data)(2) Distance from runway threshold to impacted stack = 2633.4 ft (measured from satellite data)(3) Distance from runway threshold to JAMID = 1.6 NM (9721.8 ft) (on published approach plate)(4) Altitude when crossing JAMID = 4800 ft (on published approach plate)I included the 40 ft TCH elevation offset from the approach plate in my conclusions above.Assumptions:(a) Assuming the ground surface elevation at the potato plant is 20ft above the runway TDZE. Brittney often told those who had the privilege of flying with her that she never felt closer to heaven than she did when flying. The content is there, was always there. I believe the approach was unstable, in and out of IMC from JAMID. Verifying that it is the correct stack by mapping the stack coordinates is somewhat of a leap of faith.Let's now work from the 79' and 89' clearances we got from adjusting your calcs by pretending that the nominal FAA elevation numbers were accurate. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulation Part 135 cargo flight. Thanks for the correction, point taken. In the video, the pilot clearly was trying to extend the flight path as much as possible to the very last few seconds. 24 much safer and longer runway which I feel more comfortable with. Subscribe to LALATE on YouTube. The #5 comment about lowest cloud layer is important to grasp. How often have you ever flown an approach to minimums? Funeral services will also be live streamed at bit.ly/brittneyinfanger. There may also be weather equipment at that plant and it may have logging capability. As seen in many urban locations, local city zoning permits industry to build around urban airports. "How to tell us you aren't a pilot without telling us you aren't a pilot. Discussion has returned to "the pilot was willfully continuing far below MDA of 4560 and couldn't see". The aircraft left quite an impressive impact crater, and both people aboard are presumed dead. Turbine engines are especially vulnerable. Stereo vision would have been useless. If you knew how an ASOS worked, you'd know it wasn't anything to do with being in IMC. If visibility was 1 SM, and the ASOS is 600' west of the threshold, then the pilot broke out only 2100' (lateral distance) before the tower. The witness heard the engine increase in sound and saw the nose lift shortly before the airplane struck the smokestack and descend to the rooftop.". The accident happened at sunrise and coincided with rush hour. What people want to see is their own conjecture. 0. Maybe what should come out of all this is some sort of program to break up such deadly illusions beforehand. *That's very little margin for error, and that's following the published approach on the plate. Kathryn's Report: Most Read All Time. There is still data needed to determine amount of fuel in tanks. Runway 20 has one. From the eyewitness testimony in the preliminary report, we know the she did enter the steam cloud.As for the MDA, if she had the runway in view (and likely did at this range, as the forward visibility was given as 1 statute mile, she was already below the cloud base, and the stack is almost exactly 0.5 mi from the threshold of the runway), she was ok to be below MDA.I also want to emphasize that the impacted stack is DIRECTLY on the extended centerline of the runway. The only way to hit the obstacles is to be WAY low on the approach. Nevertheless, based on the actual weather, security video and eye witness report, the visibility was 1SM at the time of the accident, giving the pilot only 16 seconds from breaking out, to react before hitting the tower. ).Although there is not likely to be an easy way to know what google tolerance/accuracy is, my posting of the obstruction database for that stack referenced a pdf for decoding the raw record, which includes how to decipher the declared accuracy of the "verified" FAA obstruction info. The insurance company, the salvage team, the trauma center were all baffled at how I survived the crash. but the sight picture she had of the runway end brought her into the steam cloud. But that stack never should have been there. (Flight at 6,200' MSL and below was "under" based on lowest layer of BKN021 reported in the METARS for the elevation 4,154 MSL field. For a moment let's adjust your pass-over clearance results of 63' and 73' up by that extra 16 feet to get 79' and 89' pass-over clearances while pretending that the FAA database numbers are spot on (read on for the surprise! Nevertheless, RIP to Brittney and condolences to her family and friends. Snow was observed falling. FlightAware's track log is heavily sampled and rounded, showing one track point every 20-30 seconds despite ADS-B transmitting a data point every second. In the USA people get fed a steady diet of emotionalized and sensationalized TV and other media from an early age on around the clock and everywhere, airports, waiting rooms and especially at home. I would really like to see some *measured* data of the actual height of that tower before it was razed, as well as its MSL elevation. People have certain biases from who was flying in any accident that makes it easy to manipulate them. If the pilot could see to descend below MDA, you they think they would see the building , the tower, and or the parking lot beyond the building, so I conclude she didn't see it, due to either white out conditions or head in the cockpit, (which is absolutely normal on an instrument approach). YOU DO NOT NEED TRIG OR OTHER BULL. It is the end of rational dialogue to follow the leftist crap who are "educating" my grandchildren. Interestingly, he showed FAA correspondence admitting that the plant stacks penetrated the approach surface. So the potato plant has their own fan club that is going to come to their defense if they get blamed for this crash? A special automated weather report for BYI about the time of the accident reported 1 mile visibility in light snow and mist, broken layer at 2,300 ft above ground level (agl), overcast at 2,800 ft agl, temperature -3C, dew point temperature -5C, barometric pressure 29.96 inches of mercury. Looking at flightaware data, the pilot made two approaches on RNAV RWY 20. Minor injuries to two aboard. Also, from a 2020 article:"Both Rex and Doris have been avid aviators since 1948. Ratings: COMMERCIAL PILOTAIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE LANDAIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE SEAAIRPLANE MULTIENGINE LAND INSTRUMENT AIRPLANE, 1500hr rule. You have nailed it. The pilot, 79, accepted the . Close up photos clearly show that the tall stack with the yellow ladder was hit. A financial firm CEO was killed along with three others when a small plane that he was flying crashed shortly after takeoff in Georgia, according to reports . Reply. Fortunately, no one was hurt.The step up from the instruction/GA world to single-pilot 135 is huge. That is on pace with last year's 75 fatalities. Three hours later, Atlanta Center instructed the pilot to maintain 7,300 feet and cleared him to . Brittney went on to graduate from Utah State University with a degree in Finance in 2018. Newer editions of the Cessna Caravan contain updated glass instrumentation with Garmin G600 or G1000 systems and weeping wing TKS ice prevention systems.Please do not assume that classic rookie pilot mistakes are at play here. The decision to divert was made before descending from cruise altitude. The pilot did not bust minimums nor was this anywhere near an approach to minimums. Main cabin in the Newmar Dutch Star 4081 at Tom Stinnett RV in Clarksville. As the Caravan started overflying the Gem factory, visibility further degraded due to the steam pulsed from the 6 stacks. Accident Investigation report not yet completed, but information verified through authorities or other sources. is quite a claim. Did you notice the color of the smoke stack? there's no margin for error.My previous post - http://www.kathrynsreport.com/2022/04/cessna-208b-grand-caravan-n928jp-fatal.html?showComment=1650993837300#c308390018535584787 I, You are a good sport to allow me to reference the database record and dangle the alluring suggestion that the FAA obstruction record is more accurate than your assumptions. Perhaps this was the pilot's first flight to Burley, or an infrequent stop?Other measures for safety and possible fatigue: No snake river or other possible, large visual cue in sight? Nothing was cut. Not surprising an elderly person might have difficulty surviving that. Not sure why there would be a belief that the preliminary indicates that investigators have settled on "sucked down" as the cause, but that type of weird phrasing is typical tuber fandom carryover as mentioned in the post you responded to, proving the point perfectly - Thanks! With luck there will be a SD card data record to help in understanding. This information is added by users of ASN. 0:06. Having survived a Cessna 150 crash into a forest I can attest first hand that shoulder harness' save lives. Kathryn's Report: Most Read This Year Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, N928JP: Fatal accident occurred April 13, 2022 near Burley Municipal Airport (KBYI), Cassia County, Idaho Cirrus SR22 GTS, N24LA: Fatal accident occurred May 06, 2022 in the Atlantic Ocean near Tybee Island, Georgia Replies. The location where the witness was viewing from is a significant factor for interpreting what is reported as seen. This is typical and one of the worst aspects of this community. I will give the details below for others to replicate, but here are my conclusions:(1) If you start at 4800ft at JAMID, and then descend with a 3.75 degree angle from horizontal as advised on the published approach plate, you would clear the top of a 100' AGL stack by only *63 feet. So 4,152' + 213' = 4,365' MSL at the smokestack. you think it's unreasonable for a pilot to descend to a standard 3.0 degree glidepath once they have the runway in sight?When the glidepath specified on the approach is 3.75 degrees, yes, yes I do. The previous day's BYI flight diverted to Twin Falls.2. Their bond was unbreakable, and their most fun times were spent together, especially when traveling the world. With Texas Skyway 280HP conversion. Lack of hours? Minter was elected to the Santa Monica City Council in 1955 and served as mayor from 1963-1967.
