Yeah it might. I still cant figure out why that equates to scud running to the airport.

Im aware. And also capable of making bad decisions in the moment.
Not sure how much I’d read into that until the CVR transcript comes out. Sounds like he’s stumbling and mumbling through the external comms, either from stress, inexperience, task saturation, confusion at the situation or loss of SA, or a combination of any or all.

It sounds like youth and inexperience. Has it been confirmed if his son was commercial rated?
I’ve not yet heard. It may have, I just haven’t heard one way or another yet. But definitely a youth with I only imagine not a ton of experience. And how a situation like this can become overwhelming quickly for him, or anyone with relatively low experience (or even experienced), is understandable.
Kind of like experiencing your first real emergency in your career. No matter how many times you’ve practiced in the sim or on tabletop, it’s still going to be a stressor, because it’s the real thing. With real consequences.

Doesn't look like it. His PPL was issued less than a month before the crash.
Could be, it sounded like he didn't want to admit was wrong on the radio with the "things" comment, which would sort of make sense for a baggage door.

The Certificate was probably reissued when the INSTRUMENT AIRPLANE rating was added.
