Heard there might have been a crash last night outside of Minomen with one of our planes. Anyone know anything bout it?
 
Yup, hope he's all fine!

Damn...That looks a lot worse than what I thought it would. Can't believe he actually made it through that.

My prediction is sleeping. I'm geussing he was on his 250+ mile XC in 221, and I know on mine I got extremely tired toward the end. Took A LOT of focus to stay alert.

Can you use the gps and autopilot for those cross countries?

GPS, of course. No autopilot on our warriors or arrows.

Why? Many of us with FMS and autopilots dream about the days of hand flying at 115 knots cross country on a saturday afternoon in search of the "$100 (well, probably $175 with gas prices) Hamburger".

I'm sure you meant "*Does* anybody here know this kid?"

I'm not dead yet!
 
does anybody know which plane it was that he was flying yet? I heard a rumor on airliners.net which one it was, but they did not say their source. I just want to know if I have flown that one before.
 
<rumor>
I heard from a UND CFI that it was a 221 student and they think he fell asleep.

There's a useful report...nothing we didnt know already.

which is why it's called a "preliminary", as opposed to "final" report. That's just how the process works.
 
I'm trying to figure out why in the world he was doing a night cross country flight at 2 in the morning? Having graduated from the Vincennes University aviation program and currently finishing a masters in aviation at Purdue I know neither school has students out that late flying. Fatigue is very dangerous and flying that late, especially as a training flight, is just plain dumb.
