A Cessna 150K registration N6275G, crashed near the Front Range Airport in Watkins, Colorado, on Saturday 31 May 2014. The reason, pilot distraction, but a very particular one. Don't forget to sub and like for more flight reconstructions!

EVERYTHING about those two deaths was pathetically needless. Thankfully, he didn't spin it into a house full of people.

I'll bet that first passenger was soooooo thankful it wasnt him, but soooo freaked out!! That time when taking selfies and pictures from your plane when everything else you're responsible for is optional!? What a waste of life. RIP.

Flash would do absolutely nothing to light up the ground at the distance they were from the ground. It could have contributed to night blindness.

@edhilton1623 18 күн бұрын

Sometimes turning on the flash enables other settings that improve low-light photography.

@andredarin8966 Күн бұрын

That doesn't explain his decision to fly at night given the NTSB found he did not meet the requirements for carrying passengers at night. I'm guessing a deep dive into this guy's background would indicate he was something of a "scofflaw".

@@jgbaugh true but 750 feet is low. I remember when I took my license a long time ago, we had to train how to recover from a stall and for that we climbed at a high altitude (as high as possible anyway)

@@jgbaugh Yeah. I put my kid into them at 2,500 agl in a 150 and he can recover within a los of 300'-400'. Then, again, he knows it's coming. My guess is that this guy had lost several hundred feet of altitude during the "WTF" phase.

Hard to stall a Cessna 150, it's one of the most forgiving airplanes flying. Pilot must have really been distracted.

@andredarin8966 Күн бұрын

I'm going to go hard-line, here: 700+ hours + complacency + knowingly skirting the regs+ failing to trim the airplane for level flight + taking selfies at 700' AGL is murder.

@timduggan1461 18 күн бұрын

The NTSB Report stated IMC conditions? Then they weren't getting "views". Unless he was scud running under an overcast...hence low AGL. AND, yes...using a flash at night is damned stupid. You are trying to photograph the city lights! But, the PIC's inattention is inexcusable. Classic stall/spin. I have intentionally spun a 150 many times...easy to recover with enough altitude.
