Imagine this being how you find out why you showed up for day one of sim and the dude who was supposed to be your sim partner had just vanished.
Also like….was there zero accountability from the owner/airplane manager for sending this dude off to what’s gotta be a $30k+ initial and he just….spends the 2 weeks that he’s supposed to be in sim • around in Dallas on the company dime?

I had the same thought. I don’t know how much gas that airplane can hold, but with only three humans and full fuel, I’m really surprised it was 3000 pounds overweight.

I guess after reading the report, it was just overweight for the field length.

But also probably the baggage area stuffed full of wine bottles and lead pipes. Best not to ask why those two items, in particular, I'm just the chauffeur. *discrete cough*

This is actually easier to accomplish than most realize. Hypothetically, let’s say the owner hires the crew and gives them the cash to manage their own training. Then the “pilots” say training is complete ready for a trip even though they don’t have a certificate let alone a type rating.
All hypothetical, of course, but without a management company or a being very savvy owner - it would be the Frank Abagnale of business jets.

I found the court filing where their insurance company tried to nope-out of coverage. In the document they state that when applying to coverage, one of the pilots involved presented themselves as the Director of Aviation, where they name two other pilots as the crew who would be flying the aircraft (neither was involved in the accident), and that the Director would explicitly not be flying the aircraft.

At least jet U taught us we need pilot certificates to fly jets…
…that’s a lot more knowledge than some Corpies have apparently.
